Pixelated Heart Quilt Pattern

 

Pixelated Heart Quilt Pattern

 

 

 

Searching for a heart quilt pattern, I couldn't seem to find any with 'enough' squares,

as I found some can look quite boxy.

 

So I have designed this as 17 x 17 squares

289 square in total

 

If you follow this colour scheme

14 light grey 01

24 mid light grey 02

47 mid grey 03

31 dark grey 04

173 white

 

Think I am going to make mine in 5" squares

But you could make from Jelly rolls 2.5" squares

 

Would also be a good idea to break down into 9 sections to quilt together

Make - 8 Pointed Star

The Lemoyne Star

Sewn the easy way, no fussy sewing

(OK I am not a fan of my stripy point, but as I am going to be making another 8 of these for a quilt, I will live with it!)

I have used 5"squares, this makes the star large,

feel free to use what ever size squares you like

Cut 8 White Squares

Cut 8 single squares of patterned fabric

(I have used 8 separate fabrics, you could use less)

Cut all your 8 patterned pieces into triangles

Cut ONLY 4 of your white ones into triangles

Leaving 4 white squares

Now rearrange your pieces

with the four white squares in each corner

(bit of a puzzle, but but fun)

Next taking your middle pieces

sew press and trim as shown

making 4 squares

Taking the outer pieces join each patterned triangle to adjoining white triangle

press and trim

You will now have 16 squares again!

Starting from the top row, sew your squares together,

So now you have 4 rows of fabric and press!

please note your four white corner pieces will be slightly larger,

but I wait till I have finished to trim the edges off.

Last but not least join your rows together

And press and trim
