These would be cute as quilt labels...you know, made with love...

[@ArtistTaraReed]

Such a great idea! Especially if you did the reverse and put the text in the solid colored heart. Love it!

[@bbymks5]

@@ArtistTaraReed yes!! So so sweet!

[@sandybruce9092]

I’ve always loved hearts - and then there is my husband and our son both born on Valentine’s Day 30 years apart!!!❤️❤️

[@ArtistTaraReed]

@@sandybruce9092 that's amazing - how do they feel about not only sharing a birthday but sharing it with Valentine's Day? (Hopefully they don't mind!!)

[@annettetom1564]

Thanks Tara , you are the only person who actually calculated various cutting sizes. Call me stupid, I could not work it out for the life of me. LOL

[@ArtistTaraReed]

Sometimes it’s a mind warp to figure out until you do! Enjoy

[@cindyhappel7376]

Thank you for this tutorial and especially for the free PDF!

[@ArtistTaraReed]

You're very welcome! Have fun!

[@dollysadlak5242]

Super cute ❤. I can see myself making these hearts as coasters, mug rugs, and a pillow

[@ArtistTaraReed]

Very cute! If you post pics on instagram I hope you tag me!

[@sonialorenzo9223]

I used this tutorial and the instructions and it was easy and successful for my second quilt ever. I love the print option to have it handy. Thank you so much the work you do.

[@ArtistTaraReed]

Heart pockets will be adorable! 🥰

[@jilllazdane8861]

Thank you for your tute and the measurements. I have made a couple of baby quilts starting with a central heart. It's been a while and I came here looking for a better balanced heart shape than my previous two. I like yours very much and love your measurement chart.

[@ArtistTaraReed]

Glad you found me! Happy ❤quilting!

[@lydiagoularte8973]

Exactly what I was looking for . . . want to make a journal cover with hearts and also a remembrance wall hanging for my cousin with hearts and skulls in it.

[@ArtistTaraReed]

Those sound like great projects - happy sewing!

[@WendhShaver]

Love your tutorial. Ty

[@ArtistTaraReed]

[@suzannejambon4736]

When you had the 2 large blocks side by side at the end of the tutorial, I thought what a cute placemat. Thank you for sharing!

[@ArtistTaraReed]

Maybe I’ll see them together - great idea! ❤❤

[@lorrainebull5384]

I’d like to maybe making a few table toppers and gift them to my daughters for Valentine’s Day. Thanks for the great pattern.

[@ArtistTaraReed]

Perfect idea! 🥰

[@ArtistTaraReed]

You're very welcome - it will be perfect! How many blocks are you planning and what size?

[@dawndecesare2177]

I just found your channel and it is just what I needed. I am working on a signature block quilt for a co worker who retired. I wanted a filler block. This will be perfect. The theme of the quilt is stars and hearts.

[@ArtistTaraReed]

Glad it was helpful! (Thought I replied to this ages ago!!)

[@LCmonman]

I want to make a table runner with these ❤

[@ArtistTaraReed]

Would be so cute! ♥♥♥

[@anneshirley3437]

I'm going to add another square to the right of the heart and self bind for smaller placemats for daughter and son in love's Valentine meal on their lanai (it's hot here in Florida) thanks so much for the great tutorial 😊

[@lesilielesilie1662]

I had a very similar idea in my head but the way you do this makes alot more sense than what I was trying to come up with!

[@ArtistTaraReed]

Happy to help!

[@elsafischer3247]

Thank you for this great tutorial

[@ArtistTaraReed]

You're very welcome!

New subscriber today. I love this quilt block; I’ve always wanted to make a heart quilt, or at least a heart wall hanging.😉 Thank you very much for this pattern & for the easy to follow, concise instructions. 😊❤️ I look forward to watching many more of your videos!😊

[@ArtistTaraReed]

Thank you for subscribing and you're very welcome! Happy ♥sewing!

[@marys5275]

I'm thinking of making making a couple for mug rugs. Thank you for sharing & I'll look forward to your upcoming videos.

[@ArtistTaraReed]

They'd be cute for that! Do the smallest / 4" finished block I think.

[@janwalkingstick1393]

Thank you for the pattern and the tutorial! My next project will be hearts. ❤️

[@ArtistTaraReed]

Enjoy! ❤️❤️❤️

[@weegardenhomestead805]

This is great! I think I am going to use a bunch of different colors, and maybe some patchwork on the larger ones, put them all together for a quilt for my granddaughter! I love this!

[@ArtistTaraReed]

That sounds like a lot of fun! Will it be a bed quilt or a snuggle up and read or watch tv quilt?

[@weegardenhomestead805]

@@ArtistTaraReed She has a snuggle quilt, a bed quilt was requested, so a bed quilt it will be. Gonna work on it between other projects so I don.t get burned out with all the smaller pieces.

[@ArtistTaraReed]

@@weegardenhomestead805 You're a great grandmother! Have fun!

[@SarahMayde2018]

I love these hearts; so simple and much better looking than the ones with pointed tops and sides. I want to make some in a few custom sizes and can figure out the dimensions for pieces A and B, but not C. What is the formula for calculating the size of piece C? I looked at your size chart but couldn't see a consistent formula between the sizes... Thank you! ❤️

[@ArtistTaraReed]

You're right! I did sizes I see consistently online for the C piece. They are all between 33 - 40% the size of the B piece so I would play with that and round to the nearest 1/4". So C * .36 = B (rounded to nearest 1/4")

[@SarahMayde2018]

Thank you! ❤

We are making a sampler quilt and looking for 12 1/2” blocks for a king size quilt

[@ArtistTaraReed]

12½" unfinished? Most "finished" blocks (as in the size they are when sewn together and measured) are 12". The free directions include 12" finished / 12½" unfinished so hopefully that will work!

[@annetrenary2875]

what ruler are you using? thanks

[@ArtistTaraReed]

I use the Cute Cuts rulers by Lori Holt for Riley Blake and and Riley Blake Trim It Rulers - you can find Amazon links in the video description

[@joscreativewanderings]

Great tutorial, thank you! However I have searched and could not find the link to the free PDF in the description section.

[@ArtistTaraReed]

Sorry about that! Here's the link to the pdf 👉🏻 bit.ly/48JsVzf sorry about that!
