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

MAKE - QST NINE PATCH

MAKE

QST (Quarter Square Triangle) NINE PATCH

These were in a little pamphlet from Patchwork & Quilting Magazine.

In collaboration with Amy Butler.

3 Fabrics 9if mine)

Patterned - three 5.5" x 5.5" squares

Orange - three 5.5" x 5.5" squares

Blue - four 4.5" x 4.5" squares

First how to make a QST

Lay one orange square over patterned fabric

draw a line diagonal - right sides together

(sorry can barley see in my picture)

Sew 1/4 inch seams down either side of drawn line

Cut between the seams.

Before moving fabric cut again through opposite corners.

Press these open

from that one you will now have half sqaures (four)

Join these halfs together, press open

When you have make them all, you will have 6 finished QST.

You only need 5 of these for your block.

Trim your squares to 4.5" square, to match the blue squares

Lay out you 5 QST and 4 blue squares

first join into rows and press

Then join those rows together and press

Finished!!

MAKE - FLYING GEESE

MAKE - North, South East & West

Flying Geese

These were in a little pamphlet from Patchwork & Quilting Magazine.

In collaboration with Amy Butler.

5 Fabrics

8 pieces patterned fabric 6.5" x 3.5"

plain one - 4 pieces 3.5" x 3.5"

plain two - 4 pieces 3.5" x 3.5"

plain three - 4 pieces 3.5" x 3.5"

plain four - 4 pieces 3.5" x 3.5"

You will be making 8 flying geese units, two of each to pair up

see below

For one Flying Geese block, you'll need one rectangle 6.5" x 3.5" and two 3.5" squares.

Lay one square on one side of the light rectangle, RST (right sides together). Using a fine tipped marker, draw a line from corner to corner, then stitch on that line.

Trim off excess as shown, leaving 1/4" seam allowance.

Press the seam open.

Now place the second square on the opposite side of the rectangle, RST. Note the new square will slightly overlap the previous piece - that's okay! Mark your diagonal line and stitch on the line.

Trim again and press seam open.

Repeat this step for all 8 flying gesse 

Before piecing these blocks together, trim off all the "tails" and "ears". 

Piece the geese into their pairs, press seam open

Then sew the rows together, press seams open

Finished! trim

Tula Pink - Block NO.6

Tula Pink 100 Modern Quilt Blocks

Block NO.6

I will be working through each and every one, with my interpretation and fabric I have to hand.

The beauty of these blocks the little pieces really will use up your scraps.

By adding dotty boarders mine are going to turn into 

100 Hot Pot Mats or Mug Rugs

As perviously mentioned I will not be showing you how to make these

You have to purchase the book.

The plain colour is Lime 75 Bella solid

the dotty is Olive 17 essential dots

The rest are scraps.

Make - 8 Pointed Star

The Lemoyne Star

Sewn the easy way, no fussy sewing

(OK I am not a fan of my stripy point, but as I am going to be making another 8 of these for a quilt, I will live with it!)

I have used 5"squares, this makes the star large,

feel free to use what ever size squares you like

Cut 8 White Squares

Cut 8 single squares of patterned fabric

(I have used 8 separate fabrics, you could use less)

Cut all your 8 patterned pieces into triangles

Cut ONLY 4 of your white ones into triangles

Leaving 4 white squares

Now rearrange your pieces

with the four white squares in each corner

(bit of a puzzle, but but fun)

Next taking your middle pieces

sew press and trim as shown

making 4 squares

Taking the outer pieces join each patterned triangle to adjoining white triangle

press and trim

You will now have 16 squares again!

Starting from the top row, sew your squares together,

So now you have 4 rows of fabric and press!

please note your four white corner pieces will be slightly larger,

but I wait till I have finished to trim the edges off.

Last but not least join your rows together

And press and trim
