Hearts Block

Here's a great stashbusting pattern to try! Now, granted, I'm making this primarily from precut 2 inch scraps, but if you strip pieced it from your stash, you'd be done with this quilt in no time! Darlene, on the Stashbusters list, recently posted a photo of this block that inspired me. I looked and found the same block done in one of Shar Jorgensen's early books. That is what my 4 heart block is based on. You can use any size square. The white strips are a little smaller than the finished squares. Just looks better that way. In the hopes of actually using this quilt sometime during the winter, I'm thinking of quilting it section by section and putting it together like a reversible quilt. That will also use a bunch of stash for the back since the pieces only have to be a tad larger than this block. Image Hosting by PictureTrail.com
