Making Heart Blocks in Multiple Sizes

I heard you! Or read your emails at least…so here’s some info on making those heart blocks in multiple sizes. The full heart quilt tutorial is here.

To make each heart block (just the center heart portion) you need 2 print strips, 2 large background squares, and 4 small background squares. Here’s a table with the sizes and pieces to cut:

Finished size of blocks

Print fabrics cut 2

Background Square – cut 2

Background square – cut 4

4” square 2 1/2” x 4 1/2” 2 1/2” 1”
5” 3” x 5 1/2” 3” 1 1/8”
6” 3 1/2” x 6 1/2” 3 1/2” 1 1/4”
7” 4” x 7 1/2” 4” 1 3/8”
8” 4 1/2” x 8 1/2” 4 1/2” 1 1/2”
9” 5” x 9 1/2” 5” 1 3/4”
10” 5 1/2” X 10 1/2” 5 1/2” 2”

Draw diagonal lines on the wrong side of each of your squares, place them on the print strips, sew along the lines, trim corners and press seams out (or open for the little squares), and sew the two sides together!

Easy as pie.

Happy heart making! Again, if you need it the full Heart Quilt tutorial is here!
