I just love the landscape of the wine country of northern California! There's quite a contrast between the miles and miles of green vineyards and the dry, grassy hills. It fascinates me!
After arriving home from our trip, I had enough time to make one more patchwork heart, all in light browns this time. The above photo kind of inspired the colors of this one!
All laid out:
And sewn together:
Four patches for the alternate block made good leaders and enders. Just one more needed and the plain squares before I can sew this one together.
After that, two more blocks will be needed for this quilt top, and I've finally got an idea for the final patchwork heart! More on that coming up. Sharing at SoScrappy for ScrapHappy Saturday.

Looking forward to seeing your heart blocks in flimsy form;)
I can see how the photo inspired the colors in your heart block. Great to use leader enders to make quick four patches.
LOVE that block!! Who knew browns could be so pretty? Do I spy a little Fairy Dust in there? That sunflower just sets the tone - really nice Diann! Looking forward to your final heart.
Love the variety of light browns in your block. This is going to be such a pretty quilt.
I'm intrigued with how these are going to look all together with the other colors. It will be wonderful I'm sure.
You nailed the colors in the photo with your light browns heart. The tans are beautiful and I love that sunflower smiling out at everyone! Lol!
I used to think that brown was boring, but it's anything but. You picked a wonderful set of browns for both blocks.
What a pretty golden brown heart!!! I am not a brown fan--but I really really like that one --you did a good job at picking just the right colors for it--hugs, di
That brown heart turn out great. . .it sure looks golden! I look forward to seeing what your idea is!
It is fascinating to look at the contrast in landscape. Such a lovely photo and a great inspiration for your latest heart block. Such a pretty selection of tan fabrics and I just love the sweet sunflower. How cute! Enjoy your day, Diann. Hugs.
Will be fun to see all your hearts together! What a contrast in that landscape photo. That's very cool!
The vineyards there are like a patchwork quilt.
