PRINTABLE PDF PATTERN
I've got two printable pattern options for you. (These are paid patterns, but it makes it so much easier than scrolling past the ads.) Keep scrolling for the free tutorial.Option 1:
The first option is to purchase the block pattern. It comes in three different sizes. This is ideal if you want to use this block for a variety of projects.
Option 2:
If you want to make the table runner and have all the instructions together in one pattern, then be sure to grab the heart to heart table runner pattern.
You'll get the directions for both quilt blocks, plus the assembly and binding instructions. It includes links to all the video tutorials to make the runner.
The best part? The price for the table runner is the same as the block pattern. But you get the instructions for both blocks. It's like a BOGO.
But don't wait, I can't keep it this price forever.
FABRIC REQUIREMENTS FOR A 12" STRIPED HEART BLOCK
- 4) 3 1/2" X 12 1/2" rectangles (in 4 different colors)
- 4) 3 1/2" cream squares
- 2) 6 1/2" cream squares
HOW TO MAKE A STRIPED HEART QUILT BLOCK
Let's get started.
To begin, draw a diagonal line on each cream square of fabric. Use a ruler to draw the line from corner to corner.
Arrange the rectangle pieces in the order you'd like them.
Place a small square at the top of each rectangle.
Orient the lines so that they create two 'points'.
Stitch along the lines.
Trim each piece 1/4 inch from the stitching line on the triangle side.
Think of the units as two pairs. Press the right side of each pair towards the cream fabric. Press the left side of each pair toward the rectangle fabric.
This will allow the seams to nest as we assemble them in the next step.
Sew together each pair of rectangles. Press the seam in either direction.
Sew the paired units together. Press the seam in either direction.
Place a large square on the bottom left of the block. Orient the diagonal line so that one end is on the middle left and the other is on the middle bottom of the block.
Stitch along the drawn line.
Trim 1/4" from the stitching line on the triangle side of the unit.
Press open the block.
Place the remaining square on the bottom right of the block. Orient the diagonal line so that one end is on the middle right and the other is on the middle bottom of the block.
Stitch along the drawn line.
Trim 1/4" from the stitching line on the triangle side of the unit.
Press open the block.
