I meant to post this last month but whew...it flew by. We had company from out of town, baseball, birthdays (Jane my youngest turned 6!), and now I feel like a whole years worth of activities are crammed into the last two weeks of school. Two more weeks and then I can sleep in an extra hour each morning and our food bill doubles with the kids home all day!
This quilt is my Planted pattern, made with Forget-Me-Not fabrics.
I made this quilt with 10" precut squares, but you can also make it with 12 fat quarters. You'll use every smidge of fabric when using 10" squares, and it's a bit easier to cut out with fat quarters.
My post for Forget-Me-Not fabric is here if you missed it, it comes to stores in October.
I procrastinated making this one a little too long and ran out of time to send it to a quilter, so I quilted this one myself on my machine. My shoulders hated me for a few days afterwards!
The backing is a plaid from the same fabric line. I had a lot of questions about which white fabric I used in all of my quilts made with this fabric line, and it's this same Moda Bella Solids Off White 9900-200 I've used in all of my quilts for years. I just saw it's on sale this month here (now it's out of stock but check back!).
Planted can be found here as a PDF, or here as a Paper pattern.
I'm off to a choir concert tonight and hopefully spending some time clearing off my cutting table so I can start a new quilt. When life is extra crazy why not start another quilt right?!

Another super cute pattern. Lovely fabric - and I love the name. Reminds me how at the end of the school year, my teachers often got a bouquet of Forget-me-nots from my mom's garden in my elementary years. Those were the days, when simple went a long way.

i can;t wait for this fabric line to come out! All the prints are nice but gotta love that plaid! Also what a touch of suprise the gold printed fabric adds. Good for you Allison, you have every right to feel quite pleased with yourself and your talent!

I love seeing your passion for heart shaped quilts! Even though you haven't started a project this year, it's great that you're sharing your past tutorials and patterns with the community. I'm sure many people are looking for inspiration from the heart shaped quilt from basket random, including me!
