A Scrappy Log Cabin Heart Block & Quilt

UPDATE 02/08/2025 - Note that is the original Scrappy Log Cabin Heart Block. The pattern is no longer available as a free pattern due to the overwhelming amount of screenshot sharing in various facebook groups and the of plagiarism by other quilters claiming this as theirs.  

Please note that this pattern is copyrighted and may not be shared in any way, shape or form. Therefore if you have previously printed this pattern it is not to be shared.  The pattern is for your personal use only. 

If you found this pattern, through a pattern sharing group please note that it is now available in my Etsy shop for purchase.   The pattern in my Etsy shop includes the blocks instructions along with three suggested layouts and the yardage for two of the layouts. Therefore, you are purchasing three patterns for less than the price of one pattern. 

Below are three variations of quilts made using the block: 

Thanks for visiting and happy sewing...

A Quilter's New Year on Instragram

     

T 'was the night before New Year's and she sat back and sighed

All the blocks that she pieced and the new things she tried

Twenty-two full size quilts were completed, While others set aside

She had such a journey from Rag Quilts to Patchwork all thanks to the push of her little girl, Jessie's Blankie

Three sewing machines she now owned, lived in the bedroom where her little girl had grown

To the photos she posted and those that she liked.  She was grateful for all the new friendships that had formed

For the laughter they shared and the tears, they had shed out of sorrow and joy. Some even over seam ripper frustration

So many had bonded under one CraftyCop, to unite as an army for the BlueRKBlock

Stitchesngiggles, Catching Thread, Olieandevie and so many more enable our addiction to fabrics galore

To the pattern designers who designs we had to try and download. But I put my own twist on each as that is my mode

For the swaps that she joined and a few that she lead. As we mailed off our blocks or our minis, we'd hope and we prayed that those who received them would love the things we had made

In our jammies, we'd craft each Saturday night and we would like and encourage to each other's delight

So now as we begin 2018, we post our intros and goals and wonder where we will end up as begin 2019

The beginning and a Mini Quilt Pattern

I have not blogged in three years so please bear with me.  I this is my new blog as a quilter...So, here goes nothing...

All In
A 16 inch Square Mini

Did you happen to see the mini quilt I made for the Instagram #gagaforgeeseminiswap?  I used Moda Bella White 97 and Corey Yoder's SunDrops fabric for my version.  If you would like to make this simply elegant mini here is the pattern. 

I recommend pressing and starching your fabric first before cutting and read through the instructions before you begin. 

Sew pieces right sides together and use scant 1/4 inch seams.

Material and Cutting:

Fabric A - (your background) cut (24) - 2 7/8 inch squares.  To be used to make your flying geese. Draw a diagonal line on the wrong side of each square.

Fabric B - (8) - 2 1/2 inch squares

Fabric C - (8) - 2 1/2 inch squares

Fabric D - (1) -  5 1/4 inch square to be used to make your inner square of flying geese

Fabric E - (2) - 5 1/4 inch squares to be used to make your middle square of flying geese

Fabric F - (3) - 5 1/4 inch squares to be used to make your outer square of flying geese

Batting - 18 inch square

Backing 19 inch square

Binding - 2 1/2 inches by 84 inches (2 width of fabrics strips joined in your preferred method)

Flying Geese:

Use the marked 2 7/8 inch squares and each of the 5 1/4 inch squares from Fabrics D, E, and F to make your flying geese.  I prefer to use  the 4 at a time /no waste method -  From Sharon Holland Design's no-waste Flying Geese unit.  You should have 4 flying geese of Fabric D, 8 flying geese of Fabric E and 12 flying geese of fabric F.  Each unit should measure at 2 1/2 x 4 1/2 inches unfinished. 

Assembly:

Use a large cutting board, table top or the floor and place your fabric as shown in the photo.

Begin assembling your mini by sewing together the center four patch and work your way out. 

Sandwich your mini top, batting and backing and quilt as desired and sew on your binding.  Ta Da!  Hang and enjoy or send it to a quilty friend. 

If you make a version of this mini - I would love to see it please tag me on Instagram #neverlandstitches.

Have you seen the mini quilt I made for the Instagram #gagaforgersemini swap ?
