This quilt has been a labour of love as many of you know from little peeks here and there for several months. I purchased a fat quarter pack (actually two) in Portland at Spring Market last year of Anne Suttons’ (of Bunnyhill Designs) Flowers for Emma range. I used almost all of one pack for this quilt and spent many evenings needleturning this beautiful single bed sized quilt. Of course any soft coordinating range of fabrics will look great as it is essentially a scrappy quilt with just one main background fabric…
So ‘Winsome Hearts’ is now printed, packed and ready to ship which means of course a new giveaway – you guessed it, leave a winsome comment to go in the draw to win a complete pattern sent with love and wishes to your postbox,
Or of course look here or ask your local store to place their order
hugs, Helen
How beautiful and elegant. Thanks for the photo.

Helen, you are an inspiration to me and I love this pattern. I have not done applique as I see it as too daunting, but the smaller blocks in this look do able to me. Love your work.Thanks

My favorite quilts are those than blend piecing and applique. This is so well done, and I can see it in a million different fabric combinations. Great work, as always.

Your choice for a darkbackground shows your confidence and boldness with color...I on the otherhand would have been too timid to use such a strong color, but it certainly works and is lovely to showcase the lighter fabs. I love the net for inspiration!
Posted by: Shelley C | May 07, 2009 at 12:10 AM
This is a beautiful pattern. I love the colours you've used. I would love to win and make this quilt. I need more applique practice.
Posted by: Sarah Vee | May 06, 2009 at 11:41 PM
Helen, all I can say is that your quilt is absolutely lovely. One can see that a lot of time, energy and love has been stitched into it. I love the colour combo too.
Posted by: Ondrea | May 06, 2009 at 10:46 PM

I simply love this quilt, the design and colours really compliment each other so well.I have no idea what winsome means either, but I do know someone (female) who has this as a name, and it really suites her.
Labour of love huh....
