I wanted to do something with my pile of applique hearts that I had made while convalescing from my last leg operation, so a while back I tested one heart block setting it on point in a square in a square block. I used some of the fabrics I had left over from my rose hexagon quilt for squaring the heart block up and thought it looked quite fun so I have sewn a few more.
Here are the blocks that I have made so far, most of them 'squared' up today - I can't help it, 'I sew when I'm upset'* and I am upset that my hospital visit for this morning got cancelled just as I was about to set off :-(
* This is a reference to Kung Fu Panda where the 'big fat panda' says: "What? I eat when I'm upset" :-D

Anyway, this is just a temporary layout and I will probably make a few more blocks, plus those setting triangles are for my Cathedral stars course so they are just to give myself an idea... although I do like those murky greys and browns of the setting fabrics as they bring out the brights very nicely, they are 'Evening Mist' by Moda and were from a swap with the Happy Wren - thanks Nichole, they are gorgeous!
Just a few more sleeps...
