Heart Defect Research Fund Raising Quilt

Jan 26 2014
Heart Quilt
Ever since realizing that they were doing Catheterizations as early as 1958, but my doctors didn't do mine until i was 10, In 1967,  I have wanted to raise funds for heart defect research.
Well, even before that.
Why did they wait? Because of all my issues? Hemi-vertebrae scoliosis, Absent upper left lung lobe, Hypoplasia lower lung lobe, Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA), Hypoplasia left Pulmonary Artery and vein.
Officially
hypoplasia /hy·po·pla·sia/ (-pla´zhah) incomplete development or underdevelopment of an organ or tissue.hypoplas´tic   from The Free Dictionary

So I started ANOTHER QUILT,  Do I have unfinished projects?  SURE!!
But this was going to be all  BRIGHT  pink or red fabrics that had HEARTS on it, only I couldn't find enough fabrics. I guess, St Valentine's Day is the season, and I was looking in October, which is when I can get to one or two quilt stores.  (Birthday month)
As I worked on the heart, I decided I needed more. I managed to find some and order online more pinks and some had hearts on them, from a local store. January was SOOO cold, I wasn't going out much. I don't want to get sick, so if it is below 30, NOT going out. Then they rescheduled my Heart dr appt twice, and HAD to go out when it was 8 out there. Thankfully the high was 34, and it warmed up later, after I was home. ;(

I had found a GREAT idea in a Quilt Magazine a few years ago, a feathered heart. Only 89 pieces, TINY pieces.
But very Beautiful.
So going to post the Jpegs I did, i hope I don't get into trouble:

Beautiful!

It is supposed to be a shadow-work type applique. But just want the main layer with all kinds of PINKS, since I couldn't find very many reds.
But ended up using a few of the reds, because I needed more variety. I didn't want the same fabrics to be too close together.

89 little pieces

HMM?? Can i do this?

All marked out on the steam a seam

I tried to put all the ones for the same fabric together, but as I was going around, the pieces for the same fabric are going to be too close together. I found I NEEDED more fabrics, the more the merrier. 
Utilizing 7 fabrics,  pieces  1-8-15-22-29-36-43-50-57-64-71-78-85

I tried several different ways, using programs in the computer and on Mom's Computer, but i finally went to the market and used their copy machine. The Heart base design needed to be enlarged 200%.

Layout of heart applique enlarged 200%

What am i going to do in the corners? Possibly paper piece some hearts?

I wanted to be done before i started the fundraising site, BUT not going to be near done.
About 30" By 30".
Can i raise  $1,000?
$500 each for 2 research projects?

I started the fundraising here. Please support me.
