I know I was just talking about how I have nothing really to decorate my house for Valentine's Day---well I am on a roll now! I've got a Valentine's Pillow, Quilt, and Table runner now! :) Now I can add another quilt to the list! :)
I forgot my friend gave me this fun little quilt kit for Valentine's Day. I was going through my fabric and looking for something and came across the kit--and figured I should put it together! It is February after all, and I have never put together a quilt from a kit before so I thought I would give it a try!
The fabric is called Love Is In The Air by Deb Strain for Moda.
I literally put this together in less than 2 hours. The quilt is made out of the panel in the middle and then two borders, plus prairie points. I had no idea that prairie points were to easy to put together. I can't tell you how fun it was to make this--it required no thinking at all! lol--I am used to creating my own patterns-- and that requires a lot of thinking, math, and measurements. I didn't have to do any of that! It was so nice to sit at my sewing machine and put this together without trying to figure out the correct measurements!
I just need to baste and quilt this baby and it will be done! :) I am now a fan of quilt kits! I will definitely do this again sometime! :)
Talk to you soon,

Looks lovely! The prairie points are fun in the border!
That's a great kit. I hear you on making a simple, easy to sew quilt. It will look great hanging around your house in February.
Lindsey, what a beautiful valentine quilt. Congrats.
This is adorable! I have a Valentine's panel from one of her older lines that I'm trying to decide what to do with... yours is inspired!
Oh so super sweet and cute! Well done!
Awesome Valentine's Day quilt! I will have to think about a kit! Nice to make something where all the calculations are done for you!
I've never tried prairie points - now I need to! Enjoy all your fresh new decorations!
it's lovely! I've never made a quilt from a kit either
I sure enjoying all the Valentine's items you have been sharing. Love the prairie points on this one. Can't wait to see her all quilted up!
My first quilt had prairie points - surprising how easy they are! And I love that fabric line - reminds me of chocolate dipped strawberries!
L o V E IT!!! The prairie points, the pink and brown, the design. :)
Super duper cute!
Love it! Those prairie points are so cute. They were my grandmothers favorite and she put them on almost all of her quilts. After all this creating we do it is nice to sit down and let someone else do all the picking and calculating:)
What a sweet little quilt and the prairie points add a lot! Thanks for sharing.
