This is one of my all-time favorite quilts I have ever quilted or seen. I love the colors, the high contrast with the black background and the beautiful applique and embroidery designs.
The whole quilt:

A few of my favorite blocks:
Love the way she used the fabric to do the work for her:
Can you pick a favorite? Just one? Really? I can’t.
And a close up of the variegated bias tape she used in the border. Perfect fabric choice for the inner border too.
It was so fun to get to work on this one! Hope you enjoyed the show.

Julie, if you have this pattern, maybe you can tell me what it is really called! The client couldn’t remember the name of it.

This is true genius! I agree with your thought of her using fabrics to do her work for her. I love it … and of course, the quilting ADDS to the quilt!

The pattern is in a book by Aie Rossmann, Affairs of the heart. The heart shape is used in all the blocks.
