Easy Half-Square Blocks Quilt - Easy Pre-Cut Cuddle Cake and Layer Cake Pattern
Happy almost month of love! We've practically made it through January, and now we get to do pink and red, yesssss!!! I'm delighted to introduce my newest Valentine Bundle. They will be live this Saturday, 2/1/25 at 10 AM PST! You can hop right to the listings to preview the cuts and prices. I'm trying something new this time- because some of the bolts aren't 15 yds, I have 2 lower priced bundles with less prints. The prints that are missing are all basics that are easily replaceable, and always in print, so all of the novelty Valentine prints are still included, making it a great option if you want to lower the cost. Here's the one with 29 prints: I wish I could have added F8s or other small cuts, but those require additional sorting and time, and I simply can't pull it off this week. Next time! All bundles can ship to US, CAN, AUS, and UK, with the exception of half yard bundles, those were too heavy. Number one question is always- what to make with it? I know exactly what I would make this time if I had a magic free weekend to do so- I'd do High Tide Remix. I just think that would be so fun in all red and pink! A delightful modern twist with these cutesy little prints.  I'd also love to make some ruffly pillows or hot pads. Maybe I'll get to that, fingers crossed.  I also really love this new-to-me Heart Gems by Emily Dennis, I think this is such a darling pattern. I love the way she did the simplified version here, with the woven and dark background. Beautiful! We can go ahead and call Emily the Queen of Hearts though, because all of her heart quilts are amazing! Seriously, you're sure to find something you love on her page.  I have made Emily's Quilty Hearts pattern before, and I really enjoyed that. The blocks are crazy easy to make, and then the sashing takes a bit of doing, but it's really not too bad.  There's a Free Heart Block pattern on my blog if you're wanting to make a mini quilt or pillow. I gave this one to a friend, but we have one just like it on our wall with everyone's name embroidered on it.  This is my Where Love Is quilt on grey crossweave.  One of my favorite heart quilts is I Heart You by Then Came June and Pen and Paper Patterns. I did this one in a sparkle background that I can no longer remember, sorry! Here are some ideas I came up with for heart quilts, though I don't have patterns for any of them, yet.   Last is my Where Love Is 2. This is one of my favorite quilts of all time, and it would be so cute in this bundle! You might need to throw in a few solids. This Etsy shop has Riley Red, Frosting, and Sugar Pink, which would be my suggestions.  Hopefully something here sparked your imagination and you're feeling inspired to quilt some hearts!
