Heart Hot Pot Mat

Scrappy Heart Hot Pot Mat

Take any fabrics, in strips any width

(i used between 2.5" and 1.5)

Sewn together, pressed, a big enough square to fit your heart template in.

Thwen quilted between batting and the backing fabric

Draw, then cut out the heat shape

Take a piece of ric rac or ribbon

and pin in place for a hanging loop

Then bind.

I will do a better tutorial including the bias binding!!

Pixelated Heart Quilt Pattern

 

Pixelated Heart Quilt Pattern

 

 

 

Searching for a heart quilt pattern, I couldn't seem to find any with 'enough' squares,

as I found some can look quite boxy.

 

So I have designed this as 17 x 17 squares

289 square in total

 

If you follow this colour scheme

14 light grey 01

24 mid light grey 02

47 mid grey 03

31 dark grey 04

173 white

 

Think I am going to make mine in 5" squares

But you could make from Jelly rolls 2.5" squares

 

Would also be a good idea to break down into 9 sections to quilt together

HEARTS AND OWLS

Look what I received in the post...........

One beautiful large hanging heart, which I won in Charlotte's giveaway, isn't it beautiful?
I am now going to ask here to make another couple for my Mum & Sis-in law, my Mum just because I want her to have one and my Sis-in law for her up and coming birthday in June (OK so I am trying to get organised!)
Now she doesn't have these for sale on her web page, but I think if we bombarded her with orders she may just have to give in.......

Olive has had a face lift....
