Heart Quilt Blocks Made by Kate

This 6" (finished size) patchwork heart quilt block is made with a quick-piecing technique. Each side of the heart block is pieced separately, and the two mirror image sides are joined vertically to complete the block.

Patchwork Hearts Fabrics

Choose two focal fabrics for each heart: two reds of similar value or two pinks of similar value. Choose a cream colored neutral fabric for the background. Tone-on-tones are a good background choice.

Make One Heart Block

  • Cut two red or pink rectangles from two fabrics of similar value, each 3-1/2" x 6-1/2".

  • Cut four 2" x 2" cream squares; draw a diagonal line from one corner to the opposite corner on the reverse of each.

  • Cut two 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" cream squares; draw a diagonal line as you did on smaller squares.
