Sharon1,
The heart quilt I posted on page 1 is a personal design done in a Quilt Sitters Circle challenge.
QSC was an after-hours group held in quilt shops which had taught It's Okay quilting classes as designed by Mary Ellen Hopkins in the 1980/90s. The challenge required us to use some of her personally designed fabric, use hearts and bowtie done in her technique, place the design on the diagonal, and use black somewhere in the design. Each quilt needed a story.
This one represented my experience with Floyd Ward Dancing School 1957. The hearts were the girls, the bows were the boys, chaperones stood in the corners with Mary Ellen's fabric in the border. The figures in the middle were the couples demonstrating the dance steps.
This quilt is lap sized. I'm sorry, there is no written pattern.

Wowzers !!!!!!! My DH would love this just like that blue and white would you please direct me to a pattern - I could figure out the nine patch and fence rails but the side triangles is my problem. And then amount of yardage.
Our 35 anniversay is Feb 12, I think I have time to get it done; the one he is using is literaly falling apart !
Please pm me; not sure how to go back to find your answer here.
thank you so much.
