Need some love? How about a Love Notes quilt?This is our block of the month at guild. Our chairman Sue discovered it and shared this cute technique. From 2 5'' squares...sew the edges, cut on the diagonals, sew as a 4 patch to create a cute love note. Make a wall hanging, small quilt, or mug rugs!
Find the quick tutorial at Missouri Star right here.
Maybe these blocks could be called Love Knots.
Here's a link to a great resource.....Bonnie Hunter's Addicted to Scraps at Quiltmaker.
Each issue Bonnie does a column showcasing different blocks for using scraps. Most are archived at Quiltmaker on line. A good resource for some inspiration.
A little mini, or a mug rug comes from
Bea at Needle in a Haystack. She put together a quick version for this one done in Amish colors as an enticement for a Quilt along she would like to start. See those details here.
Make it Amish, or any style fabrics you like.
Another sew along is happening at Tamarack Shack. Kathy and friend are hosting and have provided this easy pattern for a "low volume plus block". She is doing hers in batiks and they are so pretty.
Last of all, one more heart to love. The block begins with a nine patch and is used to make a very cute table runner. Heart of the Home tablerunner from McCall's Quilting. The pattern is in PDF format that you can download and save.
As always, please visit the original source for pinning.
Enjoy...happy stitching.
As usual, great finds. I wish I could do them all!
