Today I’m sharing the last Classic Hearts quilt that never made it up on the blog. This one is sewn up using Fableism Arcade Plaid fabrics. I absolutely love this plaid wovens line by Fableism and kind of want to sew up all the quilts with it. I paired it with a navy Sprout Wovens for this heart quilt.
The Classic Hearts quilt pattern is available in the Quilty Love pattern shop. You can check out all of the heart quilt patterns here.
Classic Hearts quilt pattern
Classic Hearts is a pretty simple ambitious beginner quilt pattern. It’s a cute block based quilt that you can sew up for Valentine’s Day or really any time of the year that you want to spread a little joy.
Each year I release a new heart themed quilt pattern that is stash friendly. You can sew up a Classic Hearts quilt using fat eighths, fat quarters, 1/4 yards or half yards.
Lots of quilt sizes included:
- Baby size quilt – 40″ x 55″
- Small throw size quilt – 50″x65″
- Large throw size quilt – 60″ x 75″
- Twin size bed quilt – 70″ x 90″
- Queen size bed quilt – 90″ x 100″
Fableism Arcade Plaid Wovens
I am so smitten with this Arcade Plaid wovens line by Fableism. I’ve made a few other quilts with it already and I’m sure this one won’t be the last.
The plaid design, the beautiful color palette. Yep, I’m a fan. These were re-woven (rather than re-printed!) once and I really hope Fableism releases them again because they are getting harder to find.
Quilting with wovens
I’m a big fan of sewing with wovens because I absolutely love the added texture they bring to a quilt. Plus they make for really soft and drapey quilts. But I do these things when sewing with wovens:
- Prewash the fabric – This is the only time I prewash fabric. Only for these looser weave wovens because they shrink quite a bit more than a regular quilting cotton. Keep in mind they shrink ALOT! So account for that in any pattern you use them in.
- Use a smaller stitch length – I use a stitch length of about 1.8 when sewing wovens. These have a little looser weave making them a little more prone to fraying so a tight stitch length will help keep them secure for the long run.
- Press seams to the side – I’m becoming more and more of a side presser but pressing to the side give a stronger seam so no bursting seams down the road.
