One of the projects I worked on at retreat in October was this: "Hearts Dot Com," which is based on a raggedy hearts design and made from the polka dot fabric I won on Sharon's blog a while back. I got all the hearts sewn down and the blocks quartered. Now I have to rearrange them and sew them back together. This arrangement at the left is what I've decided on. I started out sewing them together like the block below.
But that just wasn't working for me. Too busy or something. So I decided to keep the background of each heart the same color, either pink or black.
This is an easy and fun quilt to make. Some of my friends have made the same kind of quilt using stacked circles or stacked rectangles or squares.
A few folks have asked for the Pumpkin Pound Cake recipe, so here it is. Enjoy!

Susan, this is going to be a beauty! What's NOT to love about a heart-themed quilt! And OOOOOHHHH, I'm tempted, but NOT, NOT, NOT looking at that pumpkin pound cake recipe! I KNOW whose naughty self would be nibbling on it, and that naughty person already has enough pumpkin on her thighs from the last 40 years. Sigh ...
