valentines inspiration

Anabelle's still too young to get the whole Valentines Day thing, and Dave would probably prefer a nice dinner out to crafty cards, but I had so much fun making their sewn Valentines last year that I decided to try to carve out some time this weekend to do a little project. I got totally inspired by this quilt on Maureen Cracknell Handmade a couple of weeks ago:

It's probably a bit too elaborate for what's likely to be about 45 minutes I get to spend making Valentines, so I thought I'd browse around for some additional inspiration. There are so many great projects out there! Here are a few that I found with links to the complete posts. I don't know what I'll end up with yet, but if they turn out cute I'll post 'em next week.
