Simply Charmed Blog Hop – Circle of Love

Feb 11, 2012 by quiltjane 305 Comments

Welcome to day 9 of the Simply Charmed Blog Hop hosted by Melissa of Happy Quilting. 

Each blogger was given the challenge of making a Valentines project using one Charm Pack from Deb Strain – Always and Forever. 
So, I decided on a simple wall hanging / table topper.
Circle of Love

Materials

  • 1 Always and Forever charm pack
  • 1 1/2 yard solid for background fabric, border and binding
  • 1 1/4 yards for backing fabric
  • Applique – Stitch n Wash + fabric glue stick, Applique glue
  • Template plastic
  • 45″ x 45″ wadding 
Cutting
  • From each charm square cut:
    • 1 – 2″ x 5″ rectangle
    • 1 – 2″ x 3″ rectangle
    • 1 – 3″ x 3″ square
  • From solid background fabric cut:
    • 1 – 27 1/2″ x 27 1/2″ square (Centre Block)
    • 3 – 2″ strips WOF (width of fabric). Cut these into 72 – 1 1/2″ x 2″ rectangles (Border block)
    • 2 – 1 1/2″ strips WOF. Cut these into 8 – 3″ x 1 1/2″ rectangles and 8 – 5″ x 1 1/2″ rectangles (Corner blocks)
    • 4 – 2 1/2″ strips WOF (Binding)
Assembly
Step 1 – Making the border blocks.
Block 1
  • Sew a solid 1 1/2″ x 2″ rectangle to each end of a 2″ x 3″ charm piece. Make 12.
  • Sew  a 2″ x 5″ charm piece to each end.
  • Make 12 – 5″ x 5″ unfinished blocks.
Block 2
  • Sew a solid 1 1/2″ x 2″ rectangle to each end of a 2″ x 3″ charm piece. Make 24.
  • Sew to each end of a 2″ x 5″ charm piece.
  • Make 12 – 5″ x 5″ unfinished blocks.

Block 3
Select 4 red toned 3″ x 3″ charm pieces

  • Sew a 1 1/2″ x 3″ solid rectangle to the top and bottom of a 3″ x 3″ charm piece. 
  • Sew a 1 1/2″ x 5″ solid strip to both sides of the 3″ x 3″ charm piece. 
  • Make 4

Step 2 – Adding the borders

  • For the top and bottom border, alternate Block 1 and 2 until there are 6.
  • Sew these 6 blocks together. Finished width is 27 1/2″ x 5″
  • Attach top and bottom border to 27 1/2″ background solid square
  • Repeat for side borders adding block 3 to each end.
  • Attach side borders.

Hint: At this stage I chose to quilt the background as I was using hand turned appliqué technique to add the hearts. It is a personal choice whether you quilt at the stage or later.

Front – swirls in hot pink thread
Back – lighter pink thread

Step 3 – Preparing the Applique Hearts

Download Heart Template here. Remember when printing, do not ‘Fit to Page’ or scale file.

I used a product called Stitch n Wash – a light fusible product sold by Floriani. There are many techniques available for appliqué. You may choose to do raw edge or hand turned for your project. I like hand turned appliqué as it makes the hearts puffy and gives them dimension.

  • Trace the heart shape onto back of fusible product. Cut on trace line.
  • Press as per manufacturers instructions to back of 3″ x 3″ charm piece. Notice the placement on the square. This will give me a nice 1/4″ seam allowance all around.
  • Cut around heart shape leaving 1/4″ for seam allowance for turning.

  • Using a sharp pair of clipping scissors, clip into seam allowance on curved edges to a few threads away from outline. 
  • Using your glue stick, turn over the edges and glue to fusible template.
  • Make 26 hearts
Hint: I separated the charms into colour groups – reds, deep pinks and light pinks and whites. I used red for the corner block 3 and centre hearts. Deep pinks for second row of hearts and the remainder for the outer circle of hearts.
Step 4 – Applique layout
  • Find the centre of the background by folding it in 4 and finger pressing.
  • Place the 4 red hearts on fold lines with equal spacing between them.
  • Using a 10″ dinner plate make a paper template. Fold the template in four to find the centre.
  • Place the 8 dark pink hearts evenly around the circle with the tops of the hearts just protruding from under the template.

  • Make another template 14 3/4″. Fold in 4 and find centre.
  • Place the remaining 14 hearts evenly around the circumference of the template.
  • When you are satisfied with the layout, place a dab of appliqué glue to fix the hearts in place and pin.
  • Using matching thread and appliqué stitch, sew the hearts in place.
Quilt, bind and label your project and share it with someone you love.

Finished Quilt Size : 36″ x 36″

Finished Block size ” 4 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ (Block 1, 2 and 3)

    Oh I love your project. So sweet! Thanks so much for sharing!
    We don,t really celebrate Valentine's day in our family. We try do show our love through little surprises during the year. But since I am connected to the bloggerworld I always saw those cute projects and read stories, so this year my loved ones will get a little giftie from me. Even for my DH I have a miniquilt in work to show him my love. Cute!

    My dad used to always bring me and my sister valentine's gifts. They were smaller versions of what our mom got 🙂 We'd get a few flowers and some candy or a stuffed animal. I always thought it was so sweet of him to think of his girls as well as his true Valentine (my mom.) I never knew any other dads who did such a thing. 🙂

    What a stunning table topper quilt! I love the deep grey you chose to offset the pinks, as well as shocking pink threads for the circle quilting!

    My cautionary Valentie's story: one year, when I was about ten, I brought in Valentine's cards for all but one of the kids in my class, the girl who bullied me. The teacher asked if I had counted wrong and I answered that I hadn't. I felt so ashamed (and still do) when I saw how alone and miserable she looked. So not worth it, she was just another kid like me, needing some smiles and heart jokes just as much as I did.

    One year on Valentine's Day we were traveling home and got caught in an ice storm and were stranded on the side of the road for hours along with many other travelers and our supper that day was a loaf of bread we had to break off and yet it was a great memory . Lovely project!

    Your project is gorgeous! Typically people use white as a background for valentine's things but the grey is a fresh twist and looks outstanding. And the pink quilting thread on the grey really finished it beautifully.
    No big valentine's stories, but I do remember my Dad always wrote these cute and silly poems on the envelopes of cards he gave to my mom and to me and my sisters on Valentine's Day. He is definitely not a touchy-feely kind of guy, but this was bad poetry at its sentimental best.

    I love the way you use gray. I wouldn't have thought of it but it's perfect! The first year my husband and I were married he gave me a bracelet and necklace – we were college students so they were not expensive pieces. I still have them 48 years later and this year passed them on to my two daughters. blessings, marlene

    I love to shop after Valentine's day for interesting packaging, like the plastic hinged-top boxes shaped like a heart that I use for my safety pins. Of course the added bonus is that I must eat the yummy stuff inside before I can use the packaging for something useful!

    When I was dating my husband, Curly, we went on our 3rd date the day before Valentine's Day. As we were walking around DC, a homeless man came up and asked if we would like to buy one of his hand drawn cards. It was $1. Curly paid the guy, wrote something in it, and handed it to me. It was the weirdest card I have ever gotten, but I thought it was awesome. The next day, the actual Valentine's Day, I waited all day for a phone call or email. He decided it was "too loaded" of a day to call me when we were just newly dating. A month later we were engaged.

    🙂 Not many Valentine's Days ago, Scott totally forgot about doing anything, and when he waltzed in the door super-late from work, having not even called or sent any email notes all day long, it took him about 3 minutes of confusedly wondering why one wife and two upper-level high school daughters were giving him the Silent Treatment and even the famous Devon Glare to realize what had happened. He silently spun around and reappeared 15 minutes later with a chocolate bar from Walgreens. Says my 16yo: "Nuh-uh!!! You gotta do better than that!!" After he left, she spins around totally huffed and says to me, "Can you *BELIEVE* how dense men can be???" I was just laughing! (Couldn't be too mad at him, as I knew how crazy work was at the time, getting ready for a big inspection.) He did a lot better with the second trip. My girls just cracked me up, though!

    One year on Valentine's day, I had to work a 13 hour shift at work. I got home too tired to even think about cooking. When I came into the house, all the lights were off and I figured that my boyfriend was out practicing with his band as we normally didn't do anything for Valentine's Day. I walked into the kitchen, and was surprised to find him standing by the table that was decorated with candles and my good china. He sat me down and served me a delicious steak dinner. I, of course, married him. LOL

    My first Valentine's Day as a Momma, I may have dressed my little one in a red cloth diaper and placed him on a fuzzy blanket holding a sparkly heart and sent the photo evidence to many, many family members. He will probably hate me for it when he sees them as a young man. 🙂

    My favorite Valentine's memory involves my high school fundraiser selling carnations. An ex-boyfriend gave me a red carnation (red = love), while my current boyfriend only gave me a pink one. I guess the pressure worked, because I have been married to the pink-carnation giver for over 25 years!

    My baby brother the cowboy told us how he goes about buying presents for my SIL (he combined anniversary and Valentine's this year). A friend of his daughter's sells jewelry. Bro goes to her home (boots, spurs, hat, and work clothes), hands her cash and says, "this is how much I want to spend, no more, no less." She looks through inventory, picks something for him, and he takes it home. My SIL is amazed at his "good taste."

    Funny story: Last year I came home from a 2wk mission trip to Nicaragua around Valentines, and even though we grow flowers in the spring time ourselves, hubby had gone to neighbouring greenhouses, picked up fresh and potted flowers and plants, and to top it all off bought me the biggest frying pan possible. This was his story: The old one wobbled too much on the new stove, and they were on sale! Still loved it, and love using the pan!

    When I was a little girl, my lovable, but clueless father used to stop off at Woolworth's on his way home from work and buy my mother a pair of nylon stockings as a Valentine's gift. He would bring me a small chocolate heart. The year I was 12, he bought me a pair of stockings. I guess I should have been excited because it was his way of recognizing I was growing up, but I really wanted the chocolate heart.

    My unforgettable Valentines day was more than 25 yrs ago. My hubs is not the romantic kind, although we usually go out for dinner, and one of my friends at work had a hubby who was always sending her flowers/choccies/teddy bears/balloons, etc. Anyway this V. day at work, the florist delivery man came in with an enormous plant which I assumed was for Faye, but it was for ME from my DH and you know? I still have that plant in a big pot outside my back door. It is a Syngonium called " White Butterfly" 🙂

    I had a boyfriend who gave me a diamond ring once for Valentine's Day. He hid it in some ice cream. But he was so fastidious that he put it in a plastic bag first so it wouldn't get dirty. I didn't marry him. The end.

    We don't do Valentine's Day at our house but I do have a Valentine that my FIL sent to his future wife (my MIL) by mail back in 1929 when she was 21 years old. It was addressed and signed in pencil and it is very precious to me!

    Wonderful quilt, loved the grey background with the pinks and reds. Loved your blog! Definetely became a follower before posting. My aussie bloke has been slow to catch on to Valentine's Day. I started with my 2 girls as todllers, giving them heart shaped chocolates, cookies, cakes and sandwiches for their lunches. Which was a big talking point when they went to school. Dinner was always a favorite main and dessert with the table set with each place having Valentine's day cards, chocolates and flowers. It only took 10 years for my husband to catch on and become a self starter! thanks karen

And it was good to see that you quilted it before appliqueing the hearts on. I've never seen that done before, but I can see that it would make the quilting much easier. Thanks for the great idea!!

Valentine's Day was THE longest day ever, but I made the most money ever too! 😉 Another V-Day I worked in the shop and an officer came in at 5:00 p.m. wanting a dozen long-stemmed roses . . . right now. We had absolutely none, not even one. He made a stink . . . a big one . . . but he went home without roses that night! LOL

    My favorite Valentines are ones that I received from my daughters when they were young.. These cards — crafted so lovingly from bits of construction paper, Elmer's school glue, ribbon, lace and glitter— meant (and still mean) more to me than the most expensive card from Hallmark. Their "I love you, Mommy! Will you be my Valentine?" messages filled my heart with joy! I have saved them all these years, and love to pull them out from time to time– just to remember those precious days when they were still my little girls (which they will *always* be… 🙂

    First, I want to tell you that this is the cutest Valentine's project yet. I have bookmarked your tutorial and can't wait to get started. Just have to clear some half-finished projects off my sewing table. (Formerly our dining room table.)

    Valentine's Day story: Well, today I remembered something sweet about my dad. He was a very romantic guy, and as a senior citizen always gave my mom a big bouquet of red roses for Valentine's Day. But he was very picky–he wouldn't buy them at the grocery store or Conroy's, where the roses were kind of cheap and of poor quality. He found a nursery where they brought in gorgeous roses and sold them in lovely arrangements. One year, he wasn't feeling well and asked me to run to that nursery–about an hour from my house–to pick them up, and then bring them on over to their home. I am so glad I did, because it turned out to be his last Valentine's Day, and his last romantic gift to my mom in 39 years of marriage.

    It's a good lesson to me, to remember to make the effort, to perform the seemingly small acts of service that may turn out to be bigger than I realize at the time.

This year I scheduled the work birthday potluck on Valentine's so I am going to raffle off a giant bar of chocolate, as well as give my regular treats.

    I suppose you want good stories but when you live in Chicago Febuary can be a scary weather month for driving. I used to go to work at 3:30 AM and one year a snowstorm hit with lots of ice under of course I slid on the ice and managed to hit the only other car on the road. A very expensive Valentines Day indeed. No one was hurt though so all was well except the totalled car.

    One year for Valentine's Day (oh, probably about 10 years ago) I decided to cook my boyfriend (now husband) a romantic dinner. I planned this weeks in advance, including making some spiced/mulled wine that had to infuse for about 3 weeks. The dinner was lovely… the wine, not so much! Considering how much effort I'd put in to making it, my disappointment factor was very high! I have never put that much effort into another Valentine's meal.

    We don;t usually do Valentine's Day this year we did. Last Thursday, the hubby and I went out and just shopped around at goodwill's and Salvation Army. My hubby has never complained after all the fabric stores, antique malls and goodwills. Well this time, we bought each other gifts and he out did himself. I bought him a very limited Warcraft II collector's edition game with the unwrapped signed poster in it for $8. He bought me a 35 peice Set of Platinum China. I have always wanted china and he really knew my style. Colors and design was spot on. He paid $30 for the set. We got home and we were curious of what the actual value of our purchases were… not that we were wanting to resale.. but just curious. Well… I thought I had done well.. Spent $8 and found the exact same game only without the signed poster we got was selling for $400! Plus we had the unwrapped signed poster! Well, he outdid me. Even just one of the 14inch platters sold from the main site for $140 each and on amazon $98 each. He spent $30… and the set just based on Amazon prices is worth $705! I am not a rich person which is why I buy clothes and everything at goodwill, but this Valentines day, we managed to surprise ourselves by getting things for each other we both not only loved but were surprisingly valued!

One year , my husband and I went shopping at Walmart ( real romantic ,huh ???? yikes !! ) and the had red tea rose plants marked down to $2 . I told him to get me one and I'd plant it and see if it survives . It did ! It thrived for about 3 years . I am anxious to see if it comes back , because bunnies and other critters have destroyed my flower garden . Something has eaten up most of my lilly bulbs too !

    When my kids were little I always prepared a red and white dinner on Valentines day.

    I LOVE this!!!!! The grey fabric is so wonderful with it. Thanks for the tutorial.

    Growing up my dad would always give us small gifts on Valentine's day and my mom would give my brother one.

    Oh boy, when I saw your Tutorial detail I followed you right away! Your style works for me and I am happy to have found you!
    Valentines Memory ~ hummm ~ after our 1st daughter was born, she was 6 months old, my hubby arranged for my friend to do my hair and his sister to babysit and we went out for Desert! I had to let the seams out of my fancy dress, we had desert in a fancy restaurant and weren't allowed to talk about the baby! It was nice to feel like a woman again!

    My favorite remberance from Valentines day is making cut out sugar cookies with my now grown children. We would all work together and frost and decorate them. Your design and tutorial are fantastic, thanks for sharing.

    My husband and I don't do anything for valentine's day. But every year we get our boys a little box of their favorite candy and celebrate with family time.

    I have to tell you how very much I love this little quilt. It may be just the thing to get me to face my fear of applique! Thank you!

    I can't believe you call that a simple project — it looks amazing! My husband and I are not big fans of Valentine's Day, so we usually spend the day trying to pretend that it's not happenening. It just feels forced to me! We are very sweet year round, so I'm always more content with our usual day to day affection.

    Valentines day is a day for weddings. My aunt and uncle were married on Feb 14th 65 years ago tomorrow. My one cousin decided to marry on Valentines day too but with Canadian winter weddings you always take a chance of getting a blizzard on 'your' day. At my cousins country wedding….the bride and groom made it to the church but half the guests didn't….sorry to say we didn't make it….but they are still happily married 40 years later. Luv your table topper…(o:

    My valentines story isn`t much but here goes: I work in an NICU and it is so neat to me to see babes born on Valentines, just watching the joy in parents faces when they get to really see their baby for the first time and we wish them a happy birthday and valentines day at the same time. It just seems to be a very special moment to watch/be apart of. Thanks for hosting the give away!!

    This is the cutest mini quilt I've seen in a long time. I LOVE it! I don't have too many memories, it's not that big of a deal at our house. I loved it when my daughter was really little and my husband took her shopping for our first Valentine's Day as a family. "They" got me a card and some candy roses. Precious!

    Some years ago–maybe 5 or 6–I made up the "Valentine's Fairy," and even though my daughter is now 8-1/2, she still believes, or maybe just wants to so she'll get a present.

    Favorite memory is when my hubby (then boyfriend) bribed his roomates to leave for the night and cleaned the bach pad so we could have a lovely romantic night at his place.

    Valentine's day- Since I'm a grandmother (GG is my grandmother name!)I send my 2 grandkids a valentine of their own. I always put this sticker on the back of the envelope. It looks just like I kissed the envelope- the sticker comes in many fabulous shades of red, pink, purple (lip size). Thinking, after the fact, that perhaps they're getting too old for me to send them Valentines, I checked in with my daughter to ask if they got them yet. 'Yes,when they flipped the envelope over & saw the Kiss, they said, Yea! This is from GG!' Are they too old? 'No, are you kidding?"

    Our first V-Day together, my husband gave me a stuffed velvet frog, which we named Tobias Winston McPhibbian III, AKA Toby. He sleeps with us every night and goes everywhere we go. He's been to California, Nevada, Montana, Oregon, Washington, and Mexico. He's been on road trips and on airplanes. He's stayed in luxury suites and in tents. He was even sitting at the table on Valentine's Day when my husband proposed; after all…it was his first birthday! Now after 12 years, he's older and much more squished but he is part of our family. When my 7 year old is sick, she asks for Toby…just like I do. My favorite thing about Toby? That my husband knew me so well that he picked the PERFECT gift for our first V-Day together.
