Thank you for your patience, April was a challenging month (I had surgery and found out where I was working was closing) so I though this was a perfect block for May.
Cluck cluck sew has a great tutorial on how to make this block in multiple sizes. I plan on making multiple sizes to mix in with what you guys send me.
I choose this block in a 6” block - 4 blocks equal 12” block
If you could send them to not sewn together that would be great so I can mix up the blocks.
Please use 4 different colors for the hearts, backgrounds should be a low volume white / off white (text prints are fine), please make sure the background is not overpowering. Please no neon colors, no batiks, no drab fabrics for the hearts
Here are some fabrics I pulled to give you an idea for background and for the Hearts. Please no solids.
For each heart you’ll need:
two heart pieces 3 1/2” x 6 1/2”
2 background - 3 1.2” squares
4 background - 1 1/4” squares
Draw a diagonal line on all background pieces
Place the 3 1/2" background squares on the bottom, sew on diagonal line.
Trim off bottom outside corners, leaving 1/4" seam allowance. Press
Place the 1 1/4" squares in the upper corners.
sew on the diagonal lines. trim and press.
This is what your blocks should look like. Stitch the middle seam, and I pressed the center seam open.
Here are the four blocks I made. Thank you!!!
This looks like fun!
