Here are the last two blocks - one yellow, one lavender.

The yellow one is based on the California Poppy, one of my favorite flowers.

The lavender one is based on a Violet. That was my mom's favorite flower, so that block is very special to me.

By the way, the yellow rose is your Gramps' favorite flower. What's yours?

Now I'm going to start the sashings and putting all these together. The next time you see a picture it will have the sashing strips (strips of fabric between the blocks) and the first border on it. After that I'll put the second border on, make a 'quilt sandwich' and start quilting it.

I'll also be posting a picture of your sister's quilt soon - it's completed.

The Center Block

Since the quilt is 9 blocks square, and I'm using 4 basic colors (pink, blue, yellow, lavender) and have 12 embroidery heart blocks, the center square had to be a bit different.

I've been mulling around how this would work for as long as I've been making these heart blocks! As you can see, there are 4 embroidery blocks.

The center dark pink is also what I'll use as sashing (the strip between the larger blocks).

The pink and lavender floral will be the outer border of your quilt and also the back of your quilt (so I really hope you like it!)

I love how this came out! I've also included close ups of all the embroidered blocks. I think I only have 3 more blocks to do and then start the sashing and borders and then quilt it!!

Love you,
Grandma Lin
