The Shattered Heart Quilt

Actually called Exploding Heart, for some reason I have always thought Shattered and it’s maker recently referred to this pattern with the same name.

Made using Laura Pilands pattern for Slice of Pi Quilts . Using vibrant Kaffe Fasset fabrics for the heart with a white backing this quilters quilt is gorgeous!

The quilt maker found and chose the pantograph Two of Hearts to be used on her quilt which is how this pantograph made its way into my collection and onto other quilts.

I am always happy to order pantographs that my customers request for their quilt at no extra charge to them as I add the design to my collection….if you haven’t been to my studio…it’s an extensive collection.

I am not always a fan of using a dark or contrasting thread when quilting an edge to edge design as it can leave areas with partial design showcased that looks odd. However in this case that was not at all an issue with all of the white background that really showcases the quilting.

Oh and the backing! It’s one of Kaffe Fassetts spectacular designs!

This quilt is trimmed and ready for binding…

Kathy’s Quilt

Kathy’s Exploding Heart quilt was so much fun to work on. Her fabric choices included some really whimsical prints …My favourite being the avocados. Green has never been a colour that I have gravitated towards but lately it has been drawing me in.

A small snippet of Avocados can be seen.

I am often asked to choose the quilting design and after some thought I felt that spirals would add to the fun of this quilt. I love the movement that they add.

Kathy sent me the pictures after finishing her quilt, her backing was a perfect choice and I am impressed with her machine binding. A skill that I haven’t worked on but plan to one day.

And last but not least! Her finished quilt that was a gift for her sister whom she told me absolutely loves her quilt.
