This month the elements surrounding the centre take position: the east and south circle of hearts, the north and south polka dot crosses.
This is where we're up to, quilt wise:
I don't know about you, but there's something in this month that makes my heart flutter. You can definitely tell it's a marriage coverlet that's taking shape, and the positioning of these elements reminds us how much love, care and consideration was put into the design.
I love this circle of hand drawn hearts, it's beautiful. I recommend reverse applique for this block, the symbols and details are too rich to ignore and really add to the quilt's detail.
Of course, I should know by now that with so many of you making Love Entwined, there'll be a style shown over in the group to suit everyone and I can't wait to see how you make it up.
Of course, now that my fabric has arrived, I'll be starting my own Love Entwined tutorials right here on my blog very soon. If you haven't started yet: it's not too late. Usually, each part is available for free during the month of it's release and then it's removed. However I have left the previous parts to this BOM up over in my Group so that as many newcomers as possible can start for free.
The response to Love Entwined has been overwhelming and I'm happy to welcome a few more quilters before I take down the previous blocks.

ReplyDeletethis part 3 is beautiful - not say what we already have been working on isn't but something about part 3 is just heart tugging I guess you could say - beautiful and almost delicate.
ReplyDeleteGot it! I do love those hearts and look forward to seeing how others reverse applique them. Thank you, Esther, for your generosity!
ReplyDeleteIt just gets more beautiful and more exciting each time. I look forward to starting! Thank you so much for these wonderful patterns, Esther!
ReplyDeleteThose hearts......which colors.... oh I look forward to start, first a day of work and in the evening then.......I begin with part 3!

It's absolutely beautiful Esther - thank you. Cant wait, I love reverse applique, now just got to finish those pesky little zigzags! Celia
ReplyDeleteHi Esther, thank you for this great pattern!! You made a big fuss in blogland with this and I love it! I am almost done with the zigzag of part two, so almost ready for the beautiful third part. Greetings from the Netherlands
ReplyDeleteWow, Wow, I love part 3, now I hope to finish part two this weekend. Yes part three protrudes love, we can feel it in the air. Thanks Esther for this wonderful journey.

Beautiful! I can't wait to start but first I will be thinking about how to tackle the hearts, maybe some practice hearts are in order! Thanks again for this lovely pattern.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Esther, love your fabric choice, and yes the magic of this quilt is so strong, I keep saying I will only do the center part, even though I know in my heart I cannot resist and will go through the whole 18 months. And it will last longer than that to finish this but who cares if magic is involved.
ReplyDeleteThank you again Esther I am so very excited about this quilt as you know. I am enjoying my journey. I am looking forward to your start with your beautiful fabrics.
ReplyDeleteYou are in many people's hearts all around the world.

Hi Esther,
ReplyDeleteIt looks stunning again! I think you are doing a marvellous job, thank you for all the work!
I haven't started yet, I consider myself an unexperienced applique quilter, so I read everything everybody is writing and showing and I'm learning so much! I'm curious when I will start this quilt, but that I will start one day is for sure. Thanks for everything, your inspiration, and I enjoy reading your blog very much!
