1. Choose the 3-1/2" x 6-1/2" rectangle you would like to use on the left side of your first block.

2. Align a 2" x 2" cream square right-side-down in the upper left corner of the rectangle, with the marked line oriented as shown. Sew a seam on the marked line.

3. Trim away the excess fabric about 1/4" past the seam. Flip the cream triangle right-side-up and press. Pressing open works well, but you can press to one side if you wish.

4. Sew a second square to the right upper side of the triangle, taking care to position the marked line as shown. Sew on the marked line and trim excess fabric tips as before.

5. for best results, press the seam open or press it in the opposite direction as you pressed the seam on the left half of the block.

6. Use the same method to sew a 3-1/2" square to the bottom of the left-side rectangle, taking care to position its marked line as shown. Trim the excess fabric and press (again pressing open or to one side).

7. Make the right half of the heart quilt block using the same method, with one difference: the seam of the 3-1/2" square will be oriented in a mirror image of the seam on the left side, as illustrated.

8. After trimming, press the seam allowance open or in the opposite direction as you pressed in the left block half.

9. Sew the two heart block halves together vertically to complete the block.

10. Press. The block should measure 6-1/2" x 6-1/2".
