Four squares by four squares, 6 reds or dark pinks, 2 lights and 8 R/L HSTs with a border and a hanger and you're good to go. The picture has 3 by 4, but it's not symetrical. I just included it so you can see what I'm talking about. [ATTACH=CONFIG]306451[/ATTACH]

Looks like I might find the basics for a wall hanging there. Good ideas, thanks. Connie

There is a beautiful pieced heart on Quilters Cache I think its called patchwork heart

OK, I'm back from doing errands and have supper fixed, so now I'll go back to Quilters Cache at my leisure and try to find that. I was just too rushed this afternoon, and all those pages seemed rather daunting. I appreciate this suggestion, and all the other responses I've gotten. I'll do my research this evening and see what project I can tackle with the stash I have on hand. Unfortunately there are no local fabric stores, so I'm also limited to usung whatever I have on hand. I will try to plan better in the future. Don't like feeling rushed when I'm creating. Ya'll are the greatest for listening to me and trying to help me out. Thanks bunches.

When you go quilterscache, go to the bottom and click on 'quilt blocks galore'. Then look for the Patchy Heart alphabetically.

A small table runner to use as a dresser scarf, or a small heart shaped placemat for a small table or tray topper. Loved the idea of the decorated walker bag or mini door hanging. My Mom lived in an assisted living home for several years and bragging rights are very important to them; and they DO keep score!

Another idea- make a quick pillowcase with some pretty heart or flower fabric. You tube has a tutorial.

A lot of great ideas here, I like the ideas of a shawl to keep her warm and she can prould display what you made her.
Here is one I like.

I have bookmarked a pattern for a fleece wrap, really quick and easy. What did I do with it though?
