Valentine’s Day is around the corner and it’s time to pump up the volume on the heart factor. That’s why this week is all about the Hearts & Kisses block.
Let’s face it, with a last name like Valentine I’m kinda of sucker for all things heart and Valentine’s Day related.
Hearts & Kisses Block Details
The finished Hearts & Kisses quilt blocks measure:
- 6″ x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm)
- 12″ x 12″ (33 x 33 cm)
Material & Tool Supply List:
- Assorted Scraps: Pink, Gray & Background Prints
- Cutting mat/ Rotary cutter/ Quilt ruler
- Heat erasing marking tool
- Spray starch
While the overall construction is a simple patchwork, the center unit can be tricky. Add in small pieces for the 6″ block and I’m rating the Hearts & Kisses block a perfect partner for the confident beginner.
For a limited time you can download the instructions from my shop for free.
I really had so much fun playing with this block that I even did a mock up quilt layout using the 12″ finished blocks. You can see that it is super simple and just alternates the block direction for each row. I really think this layout would look amazing made with scrap fabric hearts.
Please share a few of your finished blocks using the hashtags #Blocks2Quilt and #TheSewingLoft so we can all see.
