Quilt process

Pixel art has a timeless charm that harks back to the days of retro video games and nostalgic memories. In the context of quilting, pixel art offers a unique canvas for creativity, where intricate designs are broken down into small squares or pixels. Each pixel becomes a stitch, and the quilt gradually takes shape, like a digital painting transformed into a tangible masterpiece.

Red and pink are hues that speak the language of love, passion, and tenderness. In Coded Heart quilt, these colors intertwine to create a symphony of emotion, evoking warmth, joy, and affection. The deep reds symbolize the intensity of love, while the soft pinks add a touch of gentleness and care. Together, they form a harmonious color palette that embodies the essence of love.

The heart is an enduring symbol of love, and in Coded Heart quilt, it takes the center stage. Each block is a heart, carefully arranged to create a delightful patchwork of affection. The fabrics may vary, and this makes the quilt more whimsy and playfull, but their message remains constant—an ode to love in all its forms.

When complete, the pixel hearts quilt becomes more than just a piece of fabric—it becomes a symbol of love and comfort. Whether draped over a bed, wrapped around shoulders, or gifted to a loved one, this quilt radiates warmth and tenderness. Its presence offers a sense of solace, like a loving embrace from the quilter to the recipient.

This was the second demo quilt for the pattern and it was my favorite from the 3 demos. As the pattern is so easy, making this gorgous piece was a piece-of-cake. The fabrics I chose where carefully hoarded thourgh the years, some of my old Cotton and Steel fabrics that I really cherish.
