Baby Steps for Baby Hearts

I was trying to figure out the last thing I had sewn, and I realized I had gone two months without touching my sewing machine.  I guess a crying baby who wants to be held doesn't lend itself to sewing very well. 

I have a block I need to piece together for do.Good Stitches, and a friend who's having a baby, so I knew I needed to dust off the sewing machine again.   Little by little I started working on a baby girl quilt.  A few minutes here and there didn't feel like much, but I kept telling myself eventually there would be progress.  It took me almost 2 weeks to get the blocks sewn together, but now I'm finally ready to piece the quilt together.

I love hearts, so I made 9 of these.  The only difference is I made my borders slightly bigger at 2.5 inches.
 It'll probably take me another two weeks to get it all pieced together, but one day it will be a quilt.  And since it's snowing outside, you're stuck with these lovely block-on-carpet pictures.
