Design Wall Monday January 2

On my design wall this week is the plaid hearts.  The blocks were from an online swap a few years ago and I hope to have this finished by the end of the month.  Yesterday I worked for a little over an hour on the blocks to go with the hearts, hoping to get those finished today.  To see what others have on theirs head over to PatchworkTimes and check them out.
