Scrappy Heart Block Tutorial
I LOVE scrappy quilts! And since February is the month for love, I decided to make some scrappy heart blocks.
I have a pretty large stash of red and white scraps leftover from when I made my Farmer’s Wife Quilt and I knew they would be perfect for these blocks. I even decided to go scrappy with the background fabrics and use some low volume prints that all contained a bit of red.
The scrappy nature of the blocks just creates so much interest in an overall quilt. I decided to make four blocks (they finish at 12”) and piece them together into a table topper (while adding a scrappy pieced border).
By rotating the direction of the blocks, it creates a fun and unexpected secondary design in the quilt.
I also found this sweet heart quilting design that worked perfectly for this scrappy hearts quilt!
I don’t normally do machine binding, but for small projects and to get this done quickly, it was the best option. I love those tiny little dots on the binding.
Below is a video tutorial where I show you how to piece the scrappy heart block as well as multiple block layout options to create anything from a table topper/table runner to a full sized quilt.
