More hearts

In January 2018 I posted the matching heart quilt (Don't you want somebody to love).  Well today I am expanding on this quilt post with the finish of UFO number 12.  What would you do with leftover blocks?  Well more heart blocks can make great matching pillows.
As you can see, I had quite a few extra heart blocks to create two ruffled pillow shams and a 20 inch square double sided throw pillow.  The pillow shams have a fold-over back to easily insert bed-size pillows.  The throw pillow has a zipper on the bottom to insert a pillow form.  Having an opening for the throw pillow will make it easier for washing.

I can visualize these pillows with the heart quilt in an adorable girls room.

My UFOs are dwindling down, but still more to go.  As I moved my sewing stuff from totes in the basement to my upstairs studio I purposely didn't leave a space for UFOs - after all, they are all going to be completed.  Right? My mission - No UFOs!  Once I get caught up finishing these quilts my plan is to finish each quilt completely - no more UFO piles.  So far my plan is working wonderfully. I have  the time, tools and confidence for this mission.  I'm feeling good and a great weight is being lifted off my shoulders as I'm working my way down the pile of quilts.  Most of these quilts even have the backing material folded with them making no excuse not to finish them up.
Still not counting how many more quilts are in the pile - it's time to load another quilt on my long arm.  I do think I should count how many I have completed from this pile.
