How to Make a Heart Flower Throw - Free Project Tutorial

[@kathrynsvendsen8319]

Misty, why not cut the orange peels directly out of the heart shapes and then you would have the orange peels in another project and you wouldn’t need to worry about the colour of the heart showing through?

[@karlabergwalker3332]

I agree! It would cut down on the bulk from the fusible.

[@tarawiles3130]

I thought the same thing as I watching the tutorial. Such a cute pattern and so very easy.

[@sallyharris1093]

Good idea. Plus less fabric.

[@combianitaennoruega]

I thought the same 😊. On that way I could save some fabrics, fusible paper and work to another project. Whatever, nice project. Thank U Misty! Best regards form Sweden 🇸🇪

[@alliegal45]

Cos then they don’t sell as much fabric

[@carolynwhitfield4888]

So cute, do the hearts in green, orange peal in a lighter green and you have a shamrock for st. Patricks day!! 😂🤣. Hi Misty, from Manitoba. Canada.. ❤

[@annas.r.p.5835]

I recommend using parchment paper to protect your ironing mat when fusing the adhesive.

[@GrrannyH1]

If you are custom quilting this on a domestic machine, you can do the stitching around the applique as part of the final quilting.

[@patatherton7657]

Love the quilt. Little hack for peeling paper off the fusible. Score the paper with a strait pin . It works everytime.❤

[@sandybruce9092]

I’ve been doing this with a pin for years as trying to peel from a corner never worked for me!

[@laris2328]

Don't throw away the rest of the square after you cut out the heart. You can use it to make another project. If you have some fabric that you want to fussy cut, you can use the square to frame it and make another small quilt. A 6 x 7 arrangement with borders would make a nice size throw or baby quilt.

[@carolrice3832]

I would have trimmed the edges off the charm, moved the heart up a tiny bit, cut the orange peel out of the heart. That way you could use the outer frame and the orange peel in another block. That way there truly would be no waste, but a little more appliqué and have a second quilt.

[@marlahanks7278]

Great idea!

[@sandybruce9092]

Just started watching and I ,Ike your suggestion - I’m a,ways wanting to get the most from fabrics!

[@helenwilliams7112]

What a cheerful quilt design! I love anything with hearts. Thanks for your clear directions! Cutting two hearts out at the same time is brilliant!

[@cr2884]

i ended up cutting two blossoms at a time for my “flower child” quilt as well.

[@sandybruce9092]

My husband and son are both Valentine born - exactly 30 years apart - so I love adding hearts to anything!

[@Chriscreations123]

This pattern would make a beautiful table topper too!! Great job Misty. I just love the way you teach.❤

[@sandybruce9092]

Or something to hang on the inside of our front door! I can’t hang anything on the outside since we do not have a porch to shade the door and everything will get bleached and/or ruined!

[@SuperBettyboop23]

Thank you Misty for this beautiful quilt it’s adorable love the colors❣️🧵🪡✂️💖💗💕❤️

[@BEVERLYRANDOLPH-lx4qu]

Well, Misty, it pays to watch these. I would not have thought to cut two hearts out at a time!

[@janetbullard1105]

I think that for the white orange peel I would back it with a fusible fleece and turn it. It would give it a nice texture

[@713Joanne]

That’s a great idea!😊

[@staciefreeman4396]

This would make a lovely quilt for a wedding gift, table runner or placemats too.

[@JeanneOlson-vv9tl]

Great pattern! Happy sewing!

[@kannrich1]

Misty, my darling daughter, this quilt turned out absolutely gorgeous! Love it so very much!!

[@dianajones8598]

Beautiful.! 😍 Thank you, Misty.🎉❤

[@lorrainebull5384]

What a beautiful summery quilt. I love the fabric, thank you for the great tutorial, and the tips along the way.

[@judyholasek-fritz7119]

Super cute quilt and great tutorial!

[@sherryfaires7931]

Great tutorial! Love this quilt!

[@monicatong5448]

Too cute!!! Looking forward to making this with a scrappier look to each block. Easy pattern to play with the size of blocks and hearts. Also, can be done as a quilt-as-you-go block. Misty, love your cute top! Great job!!

[@susankennedy-yu8uc]

Cute quilt! One change I’d make would be to put hearts of 2 different fabrics on each background square for a more scrappy look. To me, only matching 2 of the 4 hearts on adjoining blocks looks odd. I agree with other comments that using a white block on a white cutting mat makes it very hard to see in the video.

[@sandybruce9092]

Yes! Please do not use a white mat with white or very light fabrics! It doesn’t work well for videos! Personally, I’ve always used a much darker mat as it works best for my eyes!

[@beccachurch]

Sweet baby quilt. I heard a rumor my third great grandchild will be arriving soon.

[@suehackett9621]

Unless they have improved that invisible thread after a few years of washing and drying it starts to break and runs the quilting. So no matter what you claim I won’t use it.

[@susanmei9980]

Did you use nylon thread or poly thread? The nylon kind is like very fine fishing line. It’s a little bit stiff and scratchy. More recently they came out with the polyester thread that is smooth and fine. Wondering which one you had that problem with?

[@dbrandt515]

Yep

[@sandybruce9092]

@@susanmei9980I’ve never heard about any problems with the nylon invisible thread! I know machine stitching is so much quicker but I am a hand appliqué person so might consider doing it maybe with a hand sewn buttonhole stitch??

[@sharonlatour6230]

Thank you Misty. That is a very cute quilt!

[@zulemasarinana9218]

Love this quilt for a little girl!

[@brendajackson294]

I have some precut hearts and so now I have a pattern to use them. Hooray, Thanks for a great tutorial.

[@sfoster4671]

Love hearts, love the pattern & love your tutorial, Misty. Reading some of the comments, it's obvious you've inspired individual creativity. And that's what the quilting world is all about. Great job!!!

What a wonderful design - simple, easy and yet eloquent. Thank you for sharing.

[@carolynthomas4527]

[@pamelawinkel1561]

What a cute quilt. Easy enough to go quick. Cute enough to look complicated. I’m going to try this one. Great idea for charm packs.

[@patriciamartin5026]

Hi Misty. Love the quilt design. I sew smaller quilts so this would be a table runner. Thank you so much for sharing your creative talent with us. Take care. Blessings to MSQC.

[@barbaralake6794]

Very cute Love it

[@elizabethrainey2591]

Love it! ❤

[@ShalliniSheeran]

When zigzagging, I cut my background squares larger for shrinkage and trim to desire size. I also fuse Reynold's Freezer paper on the back of the block and start zigzagging. It help to keep the fabric from bunching. I personally hate using invisible thread. I noticed her zigzag was not tight which will cause the fabric to fray after washing so use a tighter stitch with cotton thread instead. It is a cute pattern. Someone mentioned to just cut the center of the heart instead of adding the extra white orange peel piece which I would do too.

[@sandybruce9092]

Thanks - I have tons of Reynold’s Freezer Paper as well use it I. Hand appliqué - great suggestion! I also would prefer using a cotton thread as I just don’t care for the invisible thread and not sure if my machines would be happy with it😊😊

[@lindashepherd5587]

Great tutorial

I have both the mstar heart template and the small orange peel. I’m going to check to see if the sizes will work together. Adorable design! Thank you Misty!

[@jeanielipskey1272]

Nice, I love easy applicated patterns, not fussy at all!

[@louisemcroke6715]

Adorable!

[@patriciaforgays6758]

I think this is a great quilt! Love the idea. I have not done appliqué and this would be a great beginner appliqué quilt! Love it! Also, I can see this in Red/White/Blue with alternating the colors in the hearts in place of the white! Thank you again Misty! 🌺🙏

[@nancymihalik1497]

I love this quilt! It would make a great foster child donation quilt for a local program. I think the extra orange peel layers would give stability and durability for a quilt that make get lots of use and washing. Thanks!

[@bettypitts-hu7rz]

I love your tutorials Misty. I look forward to making this quilt. It is so pretty.

[@wyorose5965]

A scan and cut or other cutting machine would work great for this project. I have the heart template from MSQ. My mind is running wild with this!

[@sandybruce9092]

I think I have that heart template too - along with others I can cut from Accuquilt - hoping that the size of the MSQC template is correct!

[@lindab2144]

Misty, this is a darling design. Thanks for sharing.

[@kayfombell8844]

Nice one...looks fun!

[@bq1428]

Next time you might consider using a differnt color cutting mate different that the color of fabric.

[@user-dc8io6pt6c]

Now I have another pattern for my heart die cutter. Thanks the quilt is lovely.

[@sandybruce9092]

Which die cutter do you have? I have Accuquilt ones that might work - just need to check with the mini template (the pointed one that I can’t remember the name if😁😁.

[@denisepineda1788]

That is such a cute quilt. Great job, Misty!

[@rainieanderson5781]

Is the heart the same size heart as the MSQC acrylic heart temple?

[@susanmei9980]

I was wondering the same thing. How do they compare in size?

[@tammymoore-kloss9680]

Misty, once again you do not disappoint! Such a lovely quilt, I will definatly be doing this one in my long line of to dos 😊thank you for teaching beautiful quilts !

[@stampingfunwithgaildavenpo1318]

So cute!! Nice job! Thank you for sharing.

[@RealityIsStrangerThanFiction]

I like the white cutting mat, I have a dark navy but regret the darkness

[@bettyboop7928]

Beautiful. I do wish your company included more size options on your patterns though. Another great quilt for me to try .

[@sandybruce9092]

Pretty easy to scale up or down - just make more or fewer blocks plus changing the width if the borders can make a big difference. I’m always thinking of smaller quilts myself.

[@sandybruce9092]

That paper half heart looks about the same size as the half heart template - I usually,purchase the digital patterns so I’ll check when I place my order - sure would be great if it is the same size!!!

[@triciakelley1784]

Can you use the MSQ half heart template?

[@colettesorrells9015]

❤❤❤❤

[@melissaburke5682]

Question… why not cut the orange peel before fusing the orange peel? Then you don’t have to worry about color of the heart showing through the peel.

[@donnahoward607]

Exactly what I thought.

[@najeebayasmeen786]

Awesome!😊

[@christinehodge260]

❤❤

[@sandracedar368]

I love this, Misty. This is such a darling quilt. I can see it for many occasions. It’s lovely. I have a heart template I purchased from MSQC (not sure if it’s a half or whole heart - or one of each). I’m going to take a look. I’m thinking that it would be perfect for this project.

[@jeanmariecolin6053]

❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

[@rainieanderson5781]

Why hasn't anyone come out with fusible precut for precut? Like 4 1/2 and 9 1/2 inch squares? It would make projects quicker and less waste since the fusibles width are 18 inches.

[@laris2328]

Bc then they couldn't sell more fusible and make more money.

[@sandybruce9092]

Also, the precut fusible pieces would cost so much more due to the cutting process - maybe a different machine? I dint have a problem with just cutting across from side to side and then folding and cutting the size needed - but I would make the cut piece of the fusible just slightly smaller than the fabric block to avoid any edges that might be even slightly,over the pressing area!

[@michellebusta3507]

Hi Misty from Branson Missouri

[@katelindelof5023]

If you cut the orange peel out of the heart - you have the background showing through and do not need the double layer.

[@sandrasaddleman581]

This would be cute to make a baby blanket 🩷

[@WaterfallFW]

Did you change out your pink shelves? I kinda miss them. Love the quilt Misty.

[@deborahmeares1048]

How about instead of cutting two layers of the white orange peels how about using some fusible fleece on the back of the orange peel so that it would look a little puffy plus also not allowed the color to show through

[@susiesmith1686]

is the heart template the same as the MSQC heart template?

[@sewlittle1]

Only one template for the center of the heart was downloaded. Is the template for the heart itself downloadable? Also or do you have to buy the full pattern to get the heart template?

[@eyonnesanders5581]

Can you make this quilt bigger size

[@sandybruce9092]

Just make more blocks, or enlarge the borders a bit.

[@amylaing2345]

Where do you get the heart download, I don’t see it on website

[@debaltracey]

The camera work is terrible!

[@backwoodsbaby9729]

This is a HORRIBLE pattern. Cut the centers of the hearts out, instead of adding fabric. Instead of that interfacing use a temporary fabric glue that will let you top stitch everything down. This will give you a quilt that doesnt feel like there are chunks of plywood all over it. And use less fabric. Sometimes its so clear all they want to do is sell new quilters random bs stuff that isnt needed.

[@sandybruce9092]

Not a very nice comment!!! There are always different ways of arriving at a finished project - some work better for some people than others! No reason for you to get snarky! People have already posted several different ways to arrive at the same block, try reading!

Is this heart different from the MSQ heart template?
