Not a block I would do for an entire quilt!
 

A friend in UK won a lottery block of her choice and she chose this Patchy Heart Block from Quilterscache.com I don't mind making 1 or 2 of these but really would not want to make LOTS of these blocks for a quilt, not my 'cup of tea', had to use 21 different color fabrics and a cream background, mostly Thimbleberries fabrics. I like fast and easy, LOL.

I love the block. I to like fast and easy.

It really is pretty but does seem like a lot of work. Wondering if using a package of 5" Charm squares would work and then just cut the size of the squares needed for this block?

Ooooh, but this block is so beautiful. I really like the fabrics. :)

I love the block. It doesn't look too complicated. I would machine piece it and cut down on time involved. It would make a beautiful quilt.

Seems like a wonderful block to use up scraps. Make a beautiful scrappy quilt.

It made into a pretty block but I can understand how you feel. I like things faster as well.

There might be a faster easier way to make this but don't think so. It calls for 17 different 2" fabric sqs, and 4 different 3.75" qtr sq triangles. http://www.quilterscache.com/P/PatchyHeartBlock.html

Now I'm thinking that since this uses such small pieces of fabric/scraps, I might just sew some together now and then put them in a box until a bunch stack up and then finish off some more heart blocks. I do like the block

Thinking too that 2-4 long 2" strips sewn together of different fabrics and then cut into 4 patches would work up fast. Hmmmm , might try that too.

Love the pattern--wonderful for using up scraps. I know--just like you I like quick. Thanks for sharing! :)

Love the fabrics and color choices. I would make a whole quilt out of those.

But it's so PRETTTYYYYYYYY! Wow, look at your perfect seams/points! I aspire to be so good.

The # of squares wouldn't deter me so much as the 'heart' shape. I have this THING about heart shaped anything...too sappy. But I really do like your rendering.

I love this block

very pretty block
I like it

The pattern would be great for a scrappy quilt.

I made nine of these to add to the bottom of a scrappy that I want to be longer. They do take time but I already had the 2" sqs and was using the leader and ender method from Bonnie Hunter. I have not added the strips all around yet as I need to fit it to the size I need. Had to stop and sew something else for awhile. I'll be posting when I finish because Im doing a UFO each month. But this one will not be February's.

What a pretty block.

It is very pretty!

Oh I really like this. I think it would work with any size squares, even 1.5" and 2.5" that I seem to be addicted to. :D

Very pretty. I am sewing squares together also and it is pretty boring. Already had them cut from years ago. I prefer the strip method. Much more accurate and easier matching.

Really pretty!

Very pretty..

i know what you are saying i made one in class turned mine into a pillow

wow I love your block, oh I must go get that pattern and give it a try. I'd love to do it also in scrappy, thank you for sharing your beautiful block. Denise

That sure is pretty!

That is a beautiful block. I love it.

I made a queen sized quilt with that block for my bff. I made it scrappy.

Great job on the block! COuld be a bit time consuming, but would make a great scrappy!

I like it! I think I'd sew strips of the different fabrics together, then cut to width and then sew those together, mixing them up.

I love this pattern and the block you've made. I am with you, though, I think I would spread out making these blocks and keep them in a box until I got enough done.

It's really pretty. I hope the person you made it for loves it. I like yours enough, I'd try it at least once!

I love this block...I'm thinking it would make a wonderful baby quilt...thanks for sharing

very pretty block

I'm getting to a point where a lot of my fabric storage is scraps. I wonder if I have the discipline to start making that postage stamp quilt I've been thinking about. If I just do sections here and there, eventually it gets done, right?
Discipline. Hmmmmm.

great looking block.I have some of those fabrics too

It's a pretty block.

Looks really nice though. Love the more complicated about half the time.

Really a lovely block. I've been making some heart and pink/rose/white blocks to finish up a swap I did three years ago. I't almost a top. I love your (or her) color choices--thanks for sharing.

Very nice block. I think that I would have to be in the mood to make a full sized quilt but I would make one. Also, I would possible make the squares about 3cm or 4cm big to make fairly large sized blocks! :D It is a lovely block. Thank you for sharing. :)

I love this block. Very pretty!

That would be a good mug rug, pot holder, frame it & hang on the wall, work around it & make a bag, pillow.
