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.
