Looking for a sweet and simple heart block pattern to sew for Valentine's Day? Try the free FPP Striped Heart 2 block available in four sizes for all your quilting projects.
Morning lovely!
Last year I shared with you my free FPP Striped Heart Block pattern to use in your Valentine's Day projects and you loved it. To compliment the block and to add another freebie to your files, I thought I'd give you a second version.
The FPP Striped Heart Block - 2 is another gorgeous block, and it can be found in the EQ8 library. It's modern and fun and you can sew a block in under twenty minutes with a few scraps from your stash.
The FPP Striped Heart Block - 2 pattern is available as a free download, and the PDF file includes templates for four block sizes - approx. 4", 6", 8" & 10" (finished).
The blocks are paper pieced as one unit, so there's no joining to do, making them quick and easy. You will need to have knowledge of foundation paper piecing and if it's a new technique to you, you can start with my tutorials here:
Just a note on the templates included in the PDF file - the templates for both the 8" and 10" blocks are spread over two pages due to their size. You will need to join the templates with some tape or glue prior to sewing the block. I have tried to place the joins at a point that is easiest for you.
The FPP Striped Heart Block - 2 would look amazing in any colour palette, and I'm sure you'll have fun playing with different combinations - I had Bonnie and Camille fabrics on my cutting table so I went with those for my hearts and they're so pretty.
I think you'll find uses for this block in a variety of projects - hearts are not exclusive to Valentine's Day - and combined with last year's block you will make some pretty projects.
Add them both to quilts, make coasters or placemats, a table runner or a cushion or use them as a focal block on gift bags. The possibilities are endless and even if you don't sew them now, you might find uses for the blocks throughout the year.
I've included very basic instructions in the free download as they're pieced as one unit - you only need the templates to make your blocks.
I haven't included fabric requirements - these blocks are meant to be scrappy, and the fabric requirements vary depending on the block size you choose.
I have included a colouring sheet for you to plan your blocks and a few inspirational diagrams of both FPP Striped Heart Blocks set into mini quilts to inspire you.
These simple hearts will help you spread some love this Valentine's Day. Be creative and make something beautiful :)
