Block pattern needed
I saw a picture of quilt block that had a heart in the centre, made of rail fence type strips. The stripes ran across the block in a diagonal, i.e top left to bottom right tip of heart and the remaining piece of the heart was at a different angle but was also rail fence type of strips.
Setting squares made the remainder of the block background. I think this was originally a paper pieced pattern but I'd like to do something similar with regular piecing if possible. My brain is failing me on figuring it out. I cannot post an image as I only saw the block briefly and I do not know where it came from originally. I want to help a youth group sew these blocks, hence the avoiding of the paper pieced pattern idea. Any and all assistance in designing appreciated, or if anyone can direct me to a pattern for this type of block I'd appreciate it. TYIA(Thank you in advance) |

Jenny at Missouri Star does a heart block with horizontal stripes, but you could rotate your strip pieces to cut it on a diagonal. I’ve done her pattern without the stripes and it was very easy.

Lots of nice ones that wesing put a link to.

I think I may make it as an applique as that method will be easier for the folks I'm drafting it for. |
This block pattern uses 2.5" squares instead of strips. You could alter it to use strips instead.

Just saw these two: https://www.diaryofaquilter.com/2012...ilt-block.html and https://www.diaryofaquilter.com/2017...ork-quilt.html Hope you find what you're looking for.

None of these is the one I saw. I've since gone with a different design, and I'll post pictures when I get the sampler done.
Thanks for looking/helping. |
