Block Pattern
Finished Block Size: 12" x 12"
This pattern is meant as a free add on if you already have the Brightly or Pumpkin Patches pattern, and would like
to make the quilt with hearts. It’s meant to alternate with the Chain blocks included in those patterns, but it would
also be cute on it’s own. If you’d like the full pattern for the Heartsy quilt, it can be found at cluckclucksewshop.com.
BLOCK INSTRUCTIONS:
Print fabrics: 2 matching 4 1/2" x 8 1/2" strips for the heart, 4 assorted 2 1/2" squares of other fabric for the block corners.
Background fabric: 4 squares 2" x 2", 2 squares 4 1/2" x 4 1/2", 4 strips 2 1/2" x 8 1/2"
2. Draw a diagonal line on the wrong side of both background 4 1/2" squares from corner to corner (Fig. A). Place the 4 1/2"
squares on the bottom of the print 4 1/2" x 8 1/2" strips as shown (Fig. B). Sew on the pencil lines (Fig. C). Trim the corners
leaving a 1/4" seam allowance (Fig. D). Press the seams open (Fig. E).

2 1/2" x 8 1/2" strips on the top and bottom, press seams towards the print squares. Sew a 2 1/2" x 8 1/2" strip to each side of
the heart block, press seams in. Sew the top and bottom borders to the block, and press seams out (Fig. L).

6. If you are using a Brightly or Pumpkin Patches pattern and replacing the Star or Pumpkin blocks with Heart blocks, make
15 of these Heart blocks, and 15 Chain blocks as shown in the patterns to make a 60” x 72” quilt. Layout the blocks and sew
together as shown in the pattern.
