Quilting to me:

"In this crazy fast and furious world we live in I believe it is our responsibility to take time for ourselves, even if it is once a week or month. Doing what you love is one way slow the craziness down. I like to think I'm doing what I love."

have in our stashes.  Hope you enjoy this small one block quilt.
Can also be made with other blocks or multiple Heart blocks
to make a larger quilt of whatever size.
