My Blue Heart
This quilt top is made entirely from oxford shirts and ties that were worn by the client's dearly departed husband, celebrating his life. Down through the ages, quilters have achieved differing designs by varying the placement of the classic log cabin block. This traditional block was manipulated to form a unique variation, resulting in a heart design made from the soft blue shirts. The center of each block is made from the silk ties. The lighter logs surrounding the blue heart seem to highlight it and even make the quilt shine. An embroidered "Snoopy"on a pocket from one of the shirts is incorporated into the outside border. On the opposite side border, a cuff with the husband's monogram is included.
The quilting includes straight lines and stippling that accentuate the heart design, and around the outside border the quilting incorporates butterflies, a symbol of hope and eternal life.
This quilt is machine pieced and machine quilted on cotton batting. It measures 63 X 52 inches.
