More Hearts in Quilts and FREE Pattern

I discovered some precut hearts for sale in the Keepsake Catalog back in early 2000. I bought a packet of them and made a few quilts. So much fun to have them both pre-cut AND have them ready to appliqué to a background. A dear friend from my Atlanta days bought a packet of hearts and didn't know what to do with them. She saw some inspiration in a quilt shop the next year and decided to play around with putting them on a single piece of fabric. It appeared in my second book, Supersize 'Em Quilts (2009). I like her super wide binding - it looks like a thin border. Jeweled Crazy Hearts by Jan Jolly: 42" x 42" I took this idea and made it into a workshop in 2009. Students received pre-cut squares with fusible webbing on the back and a heart template. Then they were to place them in one or two arrangements on a large piece of background fabric. We used raw edge machine appliqué to stitch them down. Here are a few versions. This next photo is of REAL fabric. No binding ye
