Printable pattern with instructions to cut and piece a heart quilt block into any size you like. Create blocks from from 2" to 12".

UPDATE 02/03/2020 - please note that this was designed as a scrap buster block. Fabric requirements for a whole quilt have never been published. Please note that this pattern is copyrighted and may not be shared. Isn't this just so sweet? If you would like to make a block for a pillow or enough for a whole quilt, here is how to make the block: Start out by picking a background fabric or two. I am making my quilt with three different grey & white low volumes. Next, gather up some 2 1/2 inch strips of reds and pinks (and any other scraps you would like to include). Hint: This is a great way to use a jellyroll! For one block, you need to cut the following: Background Fabric: A - (1) - 4 1/2 inch square B - (4) - 2 1/2 inch squares - (draw a diagonal line on each) Scrappy Reds and Pinks: C - (4) - 2 1/2 inch squares D -(4) - 2 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch strips E -(2) - 2 1/2 x 6 1/2 inch strips F -(2) - 2 1/2 x 8 1/2 inch strips G - (1) - 2 1/2 x 12 1/2 inch strip Ready to start sewing? All seams are 1/4 inch. Press as desired. I tend to press to the darker fabric. Sew 2 piece 2 - 2 1/2 inch squares together and press the seams. This is the center of your heart or the beginning of your heart's ventricles for all of you with medical backgrounds. Sew 1 - 2 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch strip to the bottom of the your first two pieces and press. Sew 1 - 2 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch strip to the left side of your heart's ventricles and press. Sew 1 - 2 1/2 x 6 1/2 inch strip to the top of your heart's ventricles and press. Sew 1 - 2 1/2 x 6 1/2 inch strip to the right of your heart's ventricles and press Sew 1 - 2 1/2 x 8 1/2 inch strip to the bottom of your heart's ventricles and press Sew 1 - 2 1/2 x 8 1/2 inch strip to the left of your heart's ventricles and press Your hearts ventricles should now measure 8 1/2 x 10 1/2 inches. Now we are going to sew together your hearts atriums. Sew 2 piece 2 - 2 1/2 inch squares together and press the seams. Sew 1 - 2 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch strip to the top of the your first two pieces and press. Sew 1 - 2 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch strip to the left side of your heart's atriums and press. Easy peasy thus far right? Next, we are going to get a tad tricky... Take 1 - 2 1/2 inch square of your background fabric and place it right sides together on the top left corner of the atrium as shown. Sew on the diagonal line. Trim to 1/4 inch and press up. Take another 2 1/2 inch square of your background fabric and repeat on the top left corner of your heart's ventricles. Take another 2 1/2 inch square of your background fabric and repeat for the bottom left corner of your heart's ventricles. Take the 4 1/2 inch square of background fabric and sew it to the left side of your heart's atriums. Sew right sides together the atrium to the ventricles. Sew the 2 1/2 x 12 1/2 inch strip to the right side of your heart and press Take the last 2 1/2 inch square of background fabric on the top right of the heart and sew on the diagonal line, trim to 1/4 inch and press open. Tad- da! You have one 12 1/2 inch Scrappy Log Cabin Block completed! I have 8 hearts completed as of today...please pardon my tacky design wall. If you make a block please tag me on Instagram @neverlandstiches so I can see... Thanks for visiting and happy sewing... Lisa Jo Neverlandstitches

A couple of weeks ago, I reached the point of no return and before I could embark on any more sewing the time had come to tidy my Sewing Room...to say it was a pit would be an understatement! I had a huge sort out and gave two massive bags of fabric to a friends daughter who is embarking on her Textiles GCSE . Despite this, I still have a mountain of fabric left over, no surprise since I own a quilt shop and as a perk of the day job, I get to bring home pretty snippets and end of bolts adding to my ever growing personal stash. I set to sorting and folding, a somewhat therapeutic activity, and as you do I started putting together pretty combinations, one light, one dark...perfect pairs in my eyes. Before I knew it... a new quilt was in the making...my Perfect Pairs quilt. The design was simple, pretty hearts appliqued on to a low volume background..... and in less than 2 weeks I had a completed quilt top. Ok I admit that I did become a little obsessed and this was all I sewed, every evening and every spare moment during that time. Here's my finished little quilt......... The intention had been 160 different fabrics..however spot the duplicate heart, which I only noticed once I had sewn the blocks together...this will soon be rectified!!! My Perfect Pairs quilt measures a sweet 40" x 50". I had thought before I sewed the rows together that I would add some low volume borders, but in the end I decided I liked it just as it is. I think Poppy also has eyes on it and is envisaging it as a lap quilt in her bedroom once it's been quilted and bound. The nice thing with this is design is its total flexibility, it could be smaller, imagine it as a sweet pram or crib quilt or indeed larger, by either adding more blocks or adding some pretty borders. If you fancy making one, here's what I did..... First off I grabbed the heart template I had made for the heart block in my Penny's Sampler Quilt.... however whilst making this quilt, I decided it would be really great to have an acrylic template...so I soon remedied that and look at these fabulous two part templates I had made...... The templates can be used in various ways depending on your choice of applique. So for the Interfacing Method, which you can read about HERE or Raw Edge applique you would simply draw around the solid heart template or if you prefer the inner edge on the frame. For needle turn, use as above to mark your finished size applique on the fabric and then draw around the outer edge of the frame to give you your 1/4" seam allowance and cutting line. Personally, I found a 1/4" seam allowance great for this size applique (the heart measures approx 3" wide and tall). If however you prefer a more scant seam allowance then simply eyeball and cut as required. Did you also notice the additional guide lines I had etched on the template and the hole in the centre...these are particularly helpful to aide fussy cutting. For my quilt, I chose to needle turn my appliques, which meant that I could do the whole process sat on the sofa! I tend to machine sew at the weekends, so that my evenings can be spent with Andy, all be it always with a sewing project on my lap and in my hands. I'll be sharing 'a little happy' tutorial very soon on how I like to needle turn my appliques.... UPDATED You can find this HERE Before moving on and if the thought of needle turn applique fills you with you horror....just to say that on Penny's Sampler, where the heart is exactly the same size..see below... I used the interfacing method, so honestly go with which ever applique method you feel happiest with!! Once prepped, using my Clover Applique pins, I pinned the hearts to the centre of a perfectly coordinating 6" background square. To applique, I used threads to match the colour of my heart fabrics, which were a mix of 50wt and 80wt Aurifil threads, but I must say 80wt is a dream to applique with. To join the hearts, I had originally thought that I would make 4 patches at random and then sew these together to make the quilt top. However on Saturday, I couldn't resist laying them out to see what they looked like all together.... I went for a layout that had 10 rows with 8 heart blocks per row, (but obviously, you could make a quilt as large or small as you wish). ....I then had a change of plan and decided to stitch them together in rows BUT before doing so, I needed to trim each of the blocks to 5 1/2" square. Hands up, this is not the most exciting of jobs and yes it's a little bit of a chore...it must be done! Not only will it help with accurate piecing, it also ensures that the hearts are positioned dead centre. Just think how annoying it would be if one little heart was out of line...ok so maybe you wouldn't find it annoying but for me with my OCD..no I couldn't cope! To make life a little bit easier, I marked up my 6 1/2" ruler with washi tape. I marked up the 5 1/2" finished block size and also a 3" square to indicate the central position of the heart, with an additional drawn line to show the centre point for the top and tip of the heart. I was then able to place the marked ruler on top of each block, line up the heart, trim away the excess on one side..... turn the block (or rotate the mat if you have a rotating cutting board like mine ...it's a OLFA one) then reposition the ruler before trimming the remaining two sides.... I estimate that I probably halved the time it took to trim the blocks by taking the extra time to add the tape... so it was well worth it! Once trimmed I sewed my rows together with a 1/4" seam allowance. I pressed the seams in alternating directions on each row, which allowed me to nest the seams when I joined the rows together. I pressed this seam open to reduce bulk. Nesting the seams really helps with nice matchy corners.... I've chosen a pretty ditsy floral to back my quilt with and of course I want to hand quilt. I'm thinking that I'll use a mix of colours in my favourite Aurifil 12wt to add to the scrappy feel. I'm planning on quilting around each heart, the same as what I did on the Penny's Sampler block. I may quilt around the squares too, but I'll wait and see how I feel and how much time I have. That's a little happy tip by the way..... do the essential quilting so that your quilt is functional, after all that is the purpose of quilting to join together the quilt top, wadding and backing. Then once the essential quilting has been completed go back and add more if you wish! Sadly, as this was an impromptu project... I don't have the time at the moment to hand quilt, but I'm thinking that this would be a super lovely project to take with me to sew on our family holiday to Yorkshire this May. I will of course share it with you once completed. I ended up with some pretty scraps from the 6" squares that I cut my hearts from, so I couldn't resist playing...these are 1" squares finished. I'm not quite sure what they will become, but sweet aren't they!! SCRUMMY SUPPLIES If you would like to make your very own Perfect Pairs quilt, you can find the template for sale on our website HERE. UPDATE OF THE COMPLETED QUILT I thought you would like to see the completed quilt now that it's all hand quilted. I simply shadow quilted around each heart using a pretty Pale Pink Aurifil 12wt thread. You can find my 'little happy' tutorial on hand quilting HERE. It was thoroughly relaxing a just did a few hearts a day until I was finished. I then used a gorgeous piece of 'old school' Cath Kidston cotton fabric for the backing and a lovely rosy red gingham for the binding. For how to add the binding, take a peek at THIS 'little happy' tutorial. I loved every moment, so much so I did start another.....although I think in truth, it will be in my 'to be completed' box for quite a while! Wishing you lots of happy stitches, Sarah xo

This is a PDF of the 'Hearts Crossed' quilt pattern. It is a beginner to intermediate pattern just in time for Valentine's Day. The pictured quilts are the 96 inch square queen quilts but it comes with instructions for 5 different sizes. It is a quick sew because the blocks are large. A single block makes the perfect pillow.

I'm away on a little road trip but I couldn't wait until I got home to share my latest finish! My lovely Aurifil threads! Hard to beat black and white binding! I'm trying to perfect the quilt swirl! These photos are taken outside Lakes Entrance, in the east of Victoria, in a region called Gippsland. I think the fold lines came from it sitting in the warm car on its little road trip! I like the way the hexie shapes highlight the lovely Heather Ross prints. There was a bit of wrangling getting those side triangles pieced in, requiring some 'y seams'..... and maybe a bit of unpicking! #**!! I'm not one to shy away from a challenge. Maybe you can see the double rows of quilting in this photo? These photos are taken in Metung, a beautiful fishing village long on my bucket list! I have tentatively named it Violet Crumble but I will finally decide when I get home to make a label. It's always nice to have a close-up of the backing and the binding... And here's a better photo of the quilting lines, 1/4" on either side of the hexagons. Is there anything nicer than taking a quilt with you on the road trip? This one certainly came in handy for afternoon naps after a long day of walking! I'm looking forward to getting home to start a new quilt! Happy sewing!

I showed you a companion quilt to this one a while back. I finally was able to take a photo of this one for you. The difference between them is I took everything that included gold and fall colors and used them in this one. The other quilt uses blues, purples, reds etc. This quilt is just slightly smaller than the other. This one is called Amish Shadows 2. It is 46 x 56 inches. It is impressive hung on a wall. By using so many different colors in a quilt it makes it adaptable to any decor, much like a fine painting. In case you missed Amish Shadows 1 I'm sharing it again. It is 49 x 79 inches. The blocks in each quilt are exactly the same size. It also is spectacular hung in any decor. These quilts are also very appropriate in dimly lit areas as they glow from within. My color choices are what makes this work, much like antique Amish quilts. I LOVE this design and you will see more of them soon. I'm also sharing Amish Shadows 2 as my puzzle tonight. I haven't posted a puzzle with each and every quilt recently. I miss doing the puzzles and hope to incude one with each post.

...this is how i feel when i look at Boro From pinterest: found on indulgy.com Boro is a Japanese word meaning “tattered rags” a term commonly used to describe textiles that have been mended, patched, repaired over and over to keep them in use. Such things that are lovingly used much longer than the normally expected life cycle. How beautiful is that? Just the names of Fabrics such as shibori, katazome and kasuri are a joy to say. Found on Pinterest: from cityzenart.blogspot.com This is a piece (hem) of an old Edwardian sheet. I removed the lace from the edges and stitched it with random plain running stitch (Sashiko) I'm loving the effect, it will be added to some future works i have planned. I started this piece a few days ago, some old french matress ticking kindly given to me by Mark at The Old Stores Antiques in Montgomery. I've used old cottons unwound from old wooden reels. There were some tears in the the fabric so i patched and stitched them. This piece will tell a story when finished, it's size and shape was planned to fit around some old larger wooden reels i recently found. At the moment i'm building up layers of stitching and patches from my endless stash of old fabrics! Boro wrapped around the wooden reels. I'll be adding papers from old ledgers and receipts (perhaps i can find some textile or farming receipts) as i go along. This is a piece i've already shown here. It's progressing slowly, lots more stitching has been added Sashiko is a specific type of Japanese utilitarian embroidery stitching used to increase the strength and durability of everyday garments and textiles and it's what i've attempted to use in these projects. I was thrilled to find these supplies at the Quilt Museum in York last weekend Japanese cotton and Sashiko threads - for another project My 'very limited' studies in Boro and Sashiko also got me interested in Wabi-Sabi This piece of Japanese pottery has been broken and pieced back together, the cracks filled with Gold. The Japanese believe that when something has suffered damage and has a history it becomes more beautiful. I think i agree, it's how i see the Boro, even more beautiful for it's mending. I have some amazing projects planned for the near future using Boro and Wabi Sabi, i feel stories and histories coming on! This is one of my favourite blogs for Boro images: http://woky-shoten.cocolog-nifty.com/ "If you look closely at a tree you'll notice it's knots and dead branches, just like our bodies. What we learn is that beauty and imperfection go together wonderfully". - Matthew Fox XOXO

Here is the Halloween Crazy Quilt canvas KCA 013-18: Sadly, It is the only Crazy Quilt canvas that I have not yet stitched and written a guide for. Some of you have been hinting strongly that I needed to get stitchin' to finish the Trilogy! Well wait no more! Six sections are figured out and started! This is a tiny Chartreuse wedge of the fan: Here are two different checkerboard sections: Here is a close-up of the oblique orange section in upper right quadrant: And, lastly, the three different patterns in the upper right quadrant. Notice the use of many different Combination stitches. My stitching goal with the Crazy Quilts is to create a pattern in each patch. Each patch has alot of visual interest, because it should represent an individual fabric. I achieve this by layering the stitches...layers of pattern and threads and stitches. There are 13 patch sections in the body of the Block, plus the Fan. The Fan is made up of 10 wedge sections. 23 sections total. I'm off to a healthy start...HOORAY! And just as a reminder, here are Spring & Christmas Crazies: And looking lovely on my bed:
