The appliques are hearts & I'd love to find a 5" simple heart block. I'm fairly new to quilting & so far have found most of my patterns on the internet. I would appreciate any suggestions.
You may be able to make a 5" pieced block, but this ole gal would never even try. |

5" blocks are also called charms or charm squares. If you google patterns for charm square quilts there are lots out there.
I understood the poster to want to MAKE a 5" pieced block. |
You could do crazy patch blocks for the alternate blocks.

If you're especially interested in hearts, here is a group of foundation paper pieced patterns for hearts:

Here are some quick ideas for 5" blocks. Any design that is 2 or 4 sections can be done as a 5" block.
A 2 section block will be 2.5" each section; a 4 section block will be 1.25" each section. Jan in VA The instructions below should read "each LITTLE square = " |

Try the book "Nickel Quilts" and its later companion. Lots of good designs there.
