Heritage Award: Baltimore Album Quilts

In 2023, Baltimore Album Quilts (Baltimore City) received a Heritage Award in the category of Tradition. First created in the 1840s, the tradition continues to thrive in an ever-increasing local and international community of quilters. Taking designs appliqued onto cloth squares, quilters piece together quilts that document the cultural stories of their everyday lives.

I love the quilt on the wall with 13 blocks on point - it has a cut out red heart in the center - scalloped edging around the red floral border. Are you able to tell me the name of this quilt pattern? I'm would love to make it! It seems like a very simple pattern to begin with since I've not made a Baltimore Album Quilt before. Thank you so much!
