Heart Quilt Ideas?

I want to make a wallhanging heart quilt for someone as a Valentine's
Day Gift. I'm digging through my book collection for patterns, shopping
in stores -- and I'd love your input on what are your favorite patterns
with HEARTS, (that are NOT foundation pieced!) and how are the patterns
printed so I can find them? ("such-and-so book by this author" or it's
a stand-alone pattern by such-and-so company.)

THANKS for any help!!

I'm in two different heart-block swaps right now. Boy, is my math
improving (one finishes at 9" and the other at 12"). They're both due
in the post within about 2 weeks, but I bet you could do that!
Email me at jgibson at tesco dot net and I'll send you the
information.

I love this one and its on my list to make this year. It has a country feel to
it.

There is a page-a-day calendar of quilt blocks that stores started carrying
about 5 years ago. One of the blocks in February is a nice heart. Part of it
is made with several pieces of red (for a nice scrappy look), and then the
curved part is appliqued on. My kids, then 6 & 10, made a wall hanging from
four of these blocks for their dad when he remarried. (I supervised and
taught, only, they did all the sewing.....except for handsewing the binding
to the back, which I did.)

Check out the quilts in _Hearts Aplenty_. Can't remember the author, but I
love the book. Lots of great ideas--a few I plan on adapting to use circles
or diamonds for instances where hearts are a bit too friendlyg

Buggy Barn Hearts is a very easy and attractive pattern. I did mine a bit
differently. I used a more limited fabric selection and I'm going to sash the
blocks. They came out beautifully. If you look at the pattern and are
interested, let me know. I would be happy to mail you a couple of pics. One of
the block done in serious colors and 12 by 18 inches and the other one is of a
miniture version of the same block, done in fun and loud fabrics.

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once!

I made a "heart" quilt years ago, they were appliqued hearts on 6" finished
squares, which I bordered, turned out well, and I still have 50% of the
quilting to do......
