Pink + Green Hearts + Polka Dots Quilt

Every Thursday, HerKentucky presents a Quilt of the Week. Over the years, my grandmother has made some absolutely stunning quilts for me; I love to photograph them and share their stories with y'all. This week's Quilt is a pink and green hearts and polka dots pattern.  Several years ago, I was walking through the grocery store and saw a cute hearts pattern on a magazine cover.

Of course, my tastes run more toward jewel tones, Lilly Pulitzer-ish prints, and deeper pinks and greens than the magazine's example. My granny was able to work with colors she knows that I love, and the result couldn't be more stunning.

I absolutely love the sense of motion that the subtle paisleys and swirls add to the hearts.
