The past week was one of those times when I was totally obsessed with a quilt project. Fortunately, my sweet husband was very supportive of all the time I spent cutting and sewing, and he even took me to two stores yesterday to find fabric for the back of the quilt.
The quilt that was filling all my time was the Rainbow Hearts quilt that will be going to Orlando for the survivors or families of victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting. I made a total of 53 blocks, got 48 of them all joined together, and added borders to the quilt top. The remaining 5 blocks were pieced into the quilt back. Unfortunately, I don't have any photos of the whole quilt yet, but I hope to get some later today and post them soon. Here are a few of the blocks from the center of the quilt.

I am joining Kate at Life in Pieces in tracking the number of days each week that I spend at least 15 minutes quilting. It was a good week for getting time in the sewing room every single day.
