Happy Valentine's Day!

I made a 2-1/2" patchwork heart block. The pieces each measure 1/2".


Here is the thumbnail draft. 

 

Next I laid out 1-1/2" fabric squares on gridded fusible interfacing. It's so much bigger than the finished block because I sew half inch seams and trim to 1/4". For full instructions visit this post.


I didn't take a picture of the next step, but using a craft knife and a ruler I cut a window in the card. The picture above shows the block from the inside. After it's in position I used double-sided tape to hold it in place.

 

Then I covered the block with plain paper for a finished look.
