Affairs of the Heart Quilts

As part of Show and Tell on Saturday, we asked people who have made a quilt based on Aie Rossmann's 'Affairs of the Heart' quilt, to bring them in. It's interesting to see all the different settings and colour choices. I know there are a lot more out there, maybe they are still at the block stage, and thats why they didn't bring them? Here's some eye candy from the quilts that were shared.

Evalyne's is not finished, two more borders to come, but it looks fantastic. I really like the hot pink, and the black background really makes the colours glow.




This is Helen's quilt, she's peeking over the top of it! I really like how she has set a large block in the centre, and the outside border blocks on point.




Lynda teased everyone that she had finished her quilt long before everyone else! You can see why, there's only nine blocks. Lynda used only a few fabrics for a more controlled look, and found a wonderful batik to set them with.




Jane used a lot of hand dyed fabric in hers, and a straight set. I like how the dark inner border acts as a frame.




And this is mine, I framed my blocks with a pale yellow, and then straight set them too.

Results of Public 'Viewers Choice'

There was a wide spread of voting in viewers choice, here's the results. Sorry some of quilts have their edges cut off in my photo's. I couldn't 'backup' enough for some photo's, as other quilts were behind me. Hope that makes sense! You can click on photo's to 'embiggen'.
