I've got a couple of old quilts that I use to cut up and make things from. I've bought them from vintage and antique fairs. Although I have made some of the quilted hearts before, I love to keep making them. They're fun and easy to make.
The large hearts are about 9" and the small ones are around 5" big. I like to sew vintage buttons onto them to go along with the vintage theme. They look good in a basket or bowl paired with old lace or can be used to sit on a shelf for a decor piece.
Each cut from the quilt gives a different look to the heart. Of course, I don't know who made these quilts in days past, but it's kind of fun to see them being made into new projects instead of getting thrown away.
Someday I want to make a coat from one. It's a trendy thing right now and lots of my quilty friends have made them. Hopefully one day soon.
