Giant Heart Quilt

It’s Feb­ru­ary and that means there’s lots of love going around so I’ve popped togeth­er a quick quilt tutori­al for any­one that’s like me and has left Valentine’s Day craft­ing to the last minute.  Of course, it does­n’t need to be a Valentine’s Day quilt, you can make this at any time!

The Giant Heart Quilt is so simple to make I doubt many of you need a tutori­al at all but I’ve popped one togeth­er just in case.    The tutori­al will be here any time you need it or, if you prefer, you can down­load it as a PDF along with the heart shape tem­plates to make the quilt or the match­ing pil­low by click­ing on the image below or here.   

Easy right?   So easy that I fig­ure you might even want to make some smal­ler ver­sions so I’ve included the smal­ler heart shape tem­plate in the file along with the lar­ger tem­plate.   The smal­ler heart shape will be per­fect to make a pillow.…

Or a table topper.

Or any­thing else you can think of!

Both the pil­low and table top­per were made with 2 ¹⁄₂″ strips of fab­ric.  The pil­low fin­ishes as 14″ square and the table top­per pic­tured is 14″ x 16″.    If you’d like to make a lapped zip to fin­ish off the back of your head on over to my Pil­low Back Tutori­al by click­ing here.

Before you head off to raid your stash and dive in to your own Giant Heart quilt just a quick note about the tem­plates.   You’ll need A3 or tabloid sized paper to print the three sec­tions of the large tem­plate.   I’ve added lots of marks that will hope­fully make match­ing the pieces up easy for you.  I did try but it was just way too hard hav­ing the tem­plate on 6 pages and, nearly impossible to get it to line up prop­erly.    Good news though, the smal­ler tem­plate will print per­fectly on your home print­er. Yay!

Enjoy!
