Cutting Instructions
Instructions
1. Sew the Strips

Sew the red and/or pink strips for the heart together lengthwise into two sets of three.
2. Place the Background Squares

Lay the background squares on top of the strip sets, right sides together. The smaller squares should be on the top corners and the larger square should lie on the bottom half. Use a ruler and fabric marker to draw diagonal lines across the wrong side of each square, as pictured above.
3. Sew and Trim

Sew along the marked diagonal lines. Press the pieces away from the center of the strips, then trim away the excess.
4. Join the Units

Sew the two sides of the heart together.
5. Add the Border

Sew the 6½” strips on the top and bottom of the heart unit, and the 8½” strips on the right and the left.

Once the block is stitched together, give it a final press. That’s it! You can frame your quilt block, sew it into a pillow or make it part of a larger Valentine’s Day quilt.
Thank you for being so generous. Very clear instructions.
I have followed this pattern today and the background measurement squares are out by .25 of an inch when placed on the stripes. Is it me or are the measurements wrong? Thanks for looking
