Heart Quilt

This is the finished quilt top from the seventh Moda Frivol tin: Heart, using prints from the Primitive Songbird Gatherings line. The tiny prints are well suited to itty-bitty piecing; these half-square triangles are scarcely more than an inch across. I started the first Frivol quilt the week of Thanksgiving last year. I’d originally intended to finish two of these little quilt tops each month, so by May I’d be caught up. Now May is nearly over, and I’m just opening tin number eight. I’m not sorry I set that goal six months ago, even though I clearly haven’t met it. I did accomplish more than I would have done otherwise. It’s true what they say, that you should always reach for the moon. If you miss it, you’ll land among the stars.
