Bloggers Quilt Festival: Half-Hearted Mini


Made for the Modern Quilt Guild mini swap earlier this year, this little quilt finishes at around 23 x 25 inches.


I downsized the original (free) pattern from around 6 ½ inch height finished to 4 ½. That makes it reduced by 69% on the photocopier. I’m a big fan of foundation paper piecing so I used the paper copies to stitch the blocks up.


This is quilted using a serpentine stitch and the texture is great although it did send the edges wavy.

The original post is here. I guarantee I’ll be making another one of these sometime for myself.

  1. I like the gaps you added in the light gray border around the hearts. The wavy lines work well and make me think of a heartbeat as do the smaller / larger halves of the pieced hearts.

  6. I really like this design and how it is a little different from other heart designs with the space between the two sides and the sides being different sizes.
