The Home is Where the Heart Is quilt pattern combines my two favorite quilting motifs: hearts and houses. Kyle and Becky opted out of knowing the baby's gender before birth so the only thing I had to work with was teal, Becky's favorite color. Emboldened by her declaration that "Boys can wear pink!" I chose prints from Maywood Studio's Roam Sweet Home fabric collection. I was first attracted to the collection by the Pennant Patchwork print, which reminds me of another favorite motif: bunting.
I used Pennant Patchwork for the backing and the quilt was small enough that the backing did not need to be pieced. I love every single color and pattern in this fabric.
It is quilted with Loopy Hearts, which seems perfect. The quilt turned out a bit more ... well ... girlie than I had intended. But I hope all those hearts convey to Louis, born on Christmas Eve 2017, how much he is loved and cherished.
