Block 1 – 3D Heart
Here is block one of the All My Heart Quilt Along. For more information about the QA see the main page under the Quilt Along tab.
Step 1: Cutting instructions
- Light – 2 – 2 3/4″ squares
- Light – 4 – 3 1/8″ squares
- Dark – 4 – 2 3/4″ squares
- Dark – 4 – 3 1/8″ squares
- Medium – 2 – 3 1/8″ squares
Step 2: Make half-square triangles
I use the drawing technique to make my half square triangles. Match the following 3 1/8″ pieces with right sides together
- Medium —>Light
- Dark —> Light (3 of them)
- Dark —> Medium
Using a marking tool (I used the frixion pen), draw a line from corner to corner
Stitch 1/4″ on each side of the line and cut along the line. Press open.
Step 3: Lay out your pieces according to the diagram.
Step 4: Stitch
I recommend that you press the seams open. I didn’t and there was a lot of bulk
I thought I would start the quilt along with a relatively easy block. There will be other techniques and a variety of difficulty levels along the way.
Don’t forget to share your progress in one or both of the groups; Flickr or Threadbias.
Stop by next Tuesday for block #2!

You had me at your first heart block.
If I didn’t have so much on my plate already, I would start on it today. I’ve had to set my other BOM’s/quilt alongs aside already. I have been wanting to make some holiday themed quilts for my kids, so I will save each of your posts for future use.
I’m definately putting this quilt on my to-do list.
