Valentine hearts gift
 

One of today's posts under another topic prompted me to send a gift of heart patterns for Valentine's Day to my friends on the Board. These are some I've used over the years in my own quilts.

There really are a multitude of ways to make heart blocks, some more interesting than others, yet we often stick to the same one or two we've already done before.

I particularly like hearts with 'rounded' shoulders....those that are not made with just HSTs... but are often snowballed to give the illusion of roundness. That kind of heart, in a 6" size, is presented here.

Thanks so much Jan. Love your hearts. Perfect for all the nieces and G'daughters mug rugs.

Love this and it is just in time. My 12 year old granddaughter and I were just talking about making mug rugs or some small wall hangings for Valentines Day. Thank you!

Thank you so much. I will use to make some potholders!

Thanks for that....Great information.....

What a great tut. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Thank you...such a 'SWEET' thing to do. I will be using these to make mug rugs.
I have a group of 6 couples that are friends, and we use all kinds of 'reasons' to get together & have a good time.
I have a 'Sweetheart Dinner" at my home for Valentines day & like to give the , ladies, a little treat..
which of course is something I've sewn..so mug rugs using these patterns will be just right!
