Check out all of us who link up with Judy L. at Patchwork Times on Mondays.
We have some awesome stuff on our walls!
Well, THEY do - ME - not so much sometimes - ;))

This weekend I was messing with my blog settings -
Trying to make it easier to see/read -
And instead of always using the BOLD feature -
I decided to change the font size to a larger one - ;))
Wouldn't you know -
Blogger changed the font size on ALL 600+ published posts -
That have ALREADY been formatted in BOLD - ;))
So - if you want to go back to read an old post -
It is now both in BOLD and a larger font -
Leaving NO doubt that you will be able to SEE/READ it - ;))
What do you think?
Should I change it back?
===
As far as my design wall goes -
I played a little with my FPP Hearts -
The ones for my Memory Quilt - ;))
I have over 60 of them -
And I can’t decide on a layout - ;))
I could applique each of them -
To their own little square -
And deal with them that way -
Or -
I could set them in one giant circle -
Or I could set them in vertical rows -
Maybe with plain alternating rows -
Or alternating rows of 9-patches -
Or in groups of four -
Some would be sideways -
Or upside down -
Or alternating vertical rows -
Again - some would be upside down -
Or in zig-zag vertical rows -
Or in circles -
Which makes star shapes in the middle -
Or in some other vertical variation -
I’d like to come up with a layout -
That would allow me to keep them in chronological order -
A timeline of sorts of the quilts that I have made -
Through the years -
I'd like to come up with a layout -
That would allow me to label them -
Showing the date and name of each quilt -
I’d like to come up with a layout -
That would allow me to add to it -
As I make new quilts -
And new hearts -
I have another dozen hearts made -
But the quilts aren’t quilted yet -
So they’re not technically “done” -
But in my world they are probably as "done" -
As they are ever going to get - ;))
Any suggestions?? - ;))
Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -

From a visual point of view the circular layout are fabulous.
Thanks - I like the circular layouts too - ;))
I agree with Frog Quilter, I like all of the circular layouts. I love the idea of making string hearts from fabrics of each quilt. They are so adorable. What size are they?
Thanks - my "Hearts" are actually Foundation Paper Pieced - and are about 5" wide and about 4" tall - ;))
I use a Large Crazy Hearts pattern by ABC Patterns - Temecula, CA - but you can use any pattern you want.
I posted all about How I Do It - here -

I like the giant circle. I don't know of any way to "label" the hearts on the front of the quilt. You could take a photo of the quilt once it is done and put a legend on the back of the quilt with information about each heart.
Thanks, Stella - I was thinking that I could applique the hearts in whatever layout and then maybe stitch the date and name somewhere close to each heart using SuzieQ's alphabet stitch mode. But I like the "legend" idea - I'll have to think about that - ;))
The circle looks cool! For labeling individual squares might be easiest but not as much pizzazz as the other layouts you were playing with.
I like the font adjustment just fine too----my reworked eyes can now read quite clearly from 6 plus feet back even if it is NOT bolded. Commenting, not so much. BUT it is your blog so you do what you like best, LHQ,
Thanks - I still need to play with it some more - maybe one of these days "it" will come to me - ;))
And I'm glad you like the new font - can't do much about the word verification stuff other than to tell you to keep hitting the little circle thingy until you get one you can read - 'cuz it's my blog and I like it - it keeps the robots and riff-raff from commenting - and I find out who my friends are - ;))
