I had to show this quilt specifically for Kim, who sent me some cute red and white cupid fabric and seemed to think I'd never done a more traditional kind of love quilt. That one above is about as traditional as I get. (And if I were doing it now, boy, would there be more contrast - good to know I've learned a few things along the way). Have to admit though, this is more my style than the monochrome:
It's awfully good to have my sweetie home for Valentine's. Not that we celebrate or do anything in particular. I don't even have these quilts up on the wall - I haven't gotten Christmas put away yet.
Meanwhile this is what is on my design wall:
Hee hee hee. Love it. The most recent batch of blocks added some more color to the mix, including yellow and a whee hint of purple. Looking amazing, isn't it?

The beating hearts quilt is a favorite of mine, love it. Hope you're healing! Can't imagine having two knees worked on at once.
Yes! Those Bah Humbugs are looking fantastic. Love your love quilts too. Happy V-day! We're watching Ken Jennings vs. Watson, the IBM computer, on Jeopardy. Round 1 tonight; rounds 2 and 3 tomorrow and Wednesday.
Tonya,
Looking at your "LOVE" quilts makes me feel like I got a valentine.
Thank you.
Gail :)
That big ol' beetle towards the bottom is awesome!
Wow...the bah humbug is no humbug! It looks great!
Couldn't help singing when looking at your All you need is love quilt!

This is a good reminder and motivator for me...finish up bugs and get them in the mail. Pronto.
Bah Humbug is really coming together nicely. I love some of the new letters in this quilt top. Hope you are healing up quickly.
Thanks for the love - you can never have too much! Also hanks for the glimpse of the bah humbug blocks. I had a bit of difficulty finding mine, which was such a relief, as I thought it would stand out and ruin the mix. Phew!
I love you too
