Happy 2024!! I hope your new year is off to a good start!
It's been a beautiful day here in New Hampshire—a bluebird day—cold but with cloudless bright blue skies. And between the sun and the new Valentine's Day projects I've got to share with you today, I'm feeling fine!
First up is Change of Heart. It's a 63½" x 75½" throw quilt featuring striped heart blocks and pretty pink and cream sashing. Here's a picture of Change of Heart on another bluebird day. Just look at that blue sky—and, of course, the quilt! :)
Change of Heart is a scrappy, fat quarter friendly quilt—ideal for giving your stash a little love or as an excuse to treat yourself to a fat-quarter bundle.
Change of Heart is a fun quilt to make with lots of opportunity for variety in pattern and color, and with time-saving strip piecing and stitch-and-flip corners it comes together quickly. It's a great quilt for Valentine's Day, but also a perfect year-round gift for the heart lover in your life.
Next up is the Big Love Pillow Sham—my first finish of 2024! This simple but striking pillow finishes at 12" x 20". If you've made my Boo Pillow, you'll be happy to know that you can use the same pillow form for both pillows!
Big Love features scrappy letter blocks paired with twin hearts. I made mine with leftover chambray and pink scraps from my stash and I LOVE the combination, but here's a peek at what Big Love might look like with a lighter, low volume background.
The twin hearts are made with a few smaller pieces, but even so, this pillow is a fast finish—make one for yourself and one for someone you love! And if you don't want to bother with the little hearts, the pattern also includes brief instructions for a simple alternate "L" block.
The patterns for Change of Heart and Big Love are both available for download in my Etsy shop, just click on the image below.
