Easy Hearts and Gizzards Quilt Materials

How to Make Hearts and Gizzards Quilt

Step 1:

Get a pair of colored square and background square. Take one of each pair then set them aside.

Take the other colored square and fold in half two times. Place the heart template and cut it out. You need 8 pieces of the half heart pieces for each block. Do the same for the background. You also need 8 pieces for the background.

Step 2:

Get one half heart from the colored and background. Place them on top of each other, with the color on the bottom. Put them on the background square at the bottom, 1/2″ from the corner. Take another pair and place on the side. Repeat with the other corners. See photo below for reference. Make sure that no pins are around the edges or in the diagonal lines from corner to corner.

Step 3:

Place the reserved colored square on top, right sides together.

Step 4:

Sew a 1/4″ all the way around the block.

Step 5:

Cut diagonally in both directions from corner to corner. Remove the pins and press them open. Do the same for the hearts. Trim the blocks into squares.

Step 6:

Sew the hearts down with any stitch you prefer.

Step 7:

Arrange four different colors of the block just like a four patch. See photo below.
