Heart Quilt Blocks. Hello! The other day I mentioned I was thinking of making a heart themed quilt. So I took a little time to play around with a few different designs to see if any of them really caught my interest... The first three blocks (pictured above) all finish at 6" x 6". I really love thepatchwork version; however, it would definitely take quite a bit longer to make an entire quilt using that style block even if I increased the size to 12" finished. The bottom block is from Alisson's terrific heart block tutorial which includes information for making several different size heart blocks. I'm kind of leaning toward the style of blocks pictured below, though. And then there is the question of whether I want to make the quilt in reds and pinks...or make it in soft florals so it can be used year round. Do you have a favorite heart-themed quilt or pattern? Thanks so much for stopping by! Love Within. Crazee Patch Heart Block. Lots of Love Block.
