My September darks and October lights are finished for the patchwork heart project. It has been really enjoyable to work with fall colors - browns, tans, golds, and whatever else fit in!
This group of blocks still needs one more heart and one more alternate block. So I decided to make an additional four patch block in greens since there are two green hearts. The four patches are made for it. I used some very light greens for this one.
And then it was decision making time for the final heart. And here's what I came up with - a very random mixture of all the colors! I'm seeing this as the center heart with all the other colors coming out from it. It's not sewn together yet, but you can get the idea. Those HSTs that look black are actually a dark green.
Hopefully in the next week, I can get these last two blocks sewn up and try some layout ideas for these blocks!

I love all of these blocks! So pretty. I've saved them to my "Quilt Ideas" folder. Thank you!
The multi-color heart is a great idea - t will give it a bit of gradation - one of my favorites! Love the browns. I just wish I could get "into" fall this year. The weather is not cooperating! Hope you have a great weekend.
That's a neat idea to use a mixed color heart for the center of the quilt!
the final heart! I missed most of the year for RSC after I was so sure I was going to keep up! I have a bit to catch up on and will continue on with some of them next year I know I won't this year
What a great idea for the center heart tying the whole quilt together.
The occasional break through sunflower in your beige and brown blocks were such a surprise treat.
Hmm. A brown heart....chocolate? I like the multi version!
I really like the chocolate on cream. The multicolored is cute.
A great idea to stitch a multi coloured heart for your centre block.
Happy Saturday, Diann. Your tan and brown blocks look amazing. How fabulous to create a multicolored heart. I can not wait to see it pieced and how you decide to lay out your blocks. Have a super weekend. Hugs.
I like your plan of making this heart with lots of colors and placing it in the center! It is a great block!
