While I watched all three hours of LOST last night, I pulled out some scraps and free-pieced a few words and played some more with strings.I'm having too much fun with these words, but I really ought to make some more "love letters" for the block lotto this month.
I'm sure my recent adventure with strings informed my decision to string piece the heart. This afternoon, I pulled out more scraps and played with the idea of a black & white border.
Since black and white quilts never seem to photograph very nicely and I'm thinking this doll-sized quilt could become a blog badge for supporters and friends of the Block Lotto, I'm inclined to go a different way. . . isn't it interesting how seeing something on a computer screen can make you see how/why you don't like it as much as you thought ;-)
It's back to the design wall and more playing with scraps for me, I think . . .
Edited to add, here's a photo of where I ended up.
The borders will be trimmed a bit. I will probably bind it in a bright blue or red.

You do seem to be having fun lately! Might as well!
Your letters are looking great. I love the heart.
We watched Lost yesterday as well, but during the day, while it snowed, snowed, and snowed some more. It was after lunch before I shoveled my way out to the sewing studio. I love your letters, and have an idea for using Tonya's letters in a quilt one of these days.
I woke up thinking about a quilt made from some a bunch of string hearts like this one. Lately, it seems, one quilt idea is quickly leading to another.
What about more red strings to make a narrow border, like a valentine edge? Maybe with a touch of white over it for 'lace'..
