Scrappy Hearts quilt

Four Color Infinite Hearts quilt

I have a four color Infinite Hearts quilt to share today! I’m excited to get this one on the blog because it’s one of my favorite Infinite Hearts quilts. Infinite Hearts is the latest in the Quilty Love Heart pattern series and it’s a fun one to sew up.

The Infinite Hearts quilt pattern has a few options plus lots of sizes. You can sew up this cute heart quilt using your scrap stash, your fat quarter stash, jelly roll strips or make a repeating block version like this one using four different fabrics. This four color Infinite Hearts quilt is the medium throw size and it uses four different kona cotton pinks.

The Infinite Hearts quilt pattern is in the Quilty Love pattern shop.

You can sign up and do the self paced quilt along here. The quilt along has lots of tips, tricks and extra videos.

Four Color Infinite Hearts Quilt

This heart quilt was such a fun one to design and sew up. It’s become an annual tradition to create a new heart quilt pattern each January and to host a sew along with it. These heart quilts are written with your scrap stash in mind because January is always a good time of the year to dig into those scraps.

When I was creating Infinite Hearts, this four color repeating block version came to mind so it’s also included in the quilt pattern. Instead of using your scrap stash or fat quarters, you use four different colors of yardage and create a repeating block. I’ve arranged my four colors from dark to light for an ombre effect.

This four color heart quilt would look great in Ombre fabrics! Or these Ruby Star Society Speckled fabrics.

Kona Cotton Pink Solids

I wanted this four color Infinite Hearts quilt to be really pink. So I chose some true pink colors from the Robert Kaufman Kona Cotton line up. This heart quilt uses Azeala, Camellia, Bubble Gum and Medium Pink.

Ruby Star Society Grid background

The background of this Infinite Hearts quilt is Ruby Star Society Grid in the color cloud. This fabric has been discontinued but their speckled fabric is a really good replacement.

Infinite Hearts Quilt Pattern – precut friendly!

The Infinite Hearts quilt pattern is a scrap buster quilt. It’s perfect for your pink or red scrap stash. Or pull pink and red fat quarters from your stash. You can also use jelly roll strips for this cute heart quilt.

Cutting instructions are included for scraps, jelly roll strips, fat quarters, fat eighths, half yards or quarter yards. So this heart quilt is pre-cut friendly!

Infinite Hearts quilt sizes

Infinite Hearts includes instructions for lots of quilt sizes!

Baby Size
Small throw size
Medium throw size
large throw size
Twin bed size

The baby Infinite Hearts quilt is such an adorable baby quilt. A twin bed size is also included. This would make an adorable quilt for a little girl’s bed. Check out the baby size Infinite Hearts quilt I made here.

Long Arm Quilting

This four color Infinite Hearts quilt was quilted by Knot and Thread. This adorable clamshell pantograph is so perfect for this quilt. I’m not sure what the exact name of this quilting design is but it looks like a clamshell of some sort.

I pieced this heart quilt on my Janome MC6700p.

Riley Blake Blossoms Wide Back fabric

This four color Infinite Hearts throw size quilt is backed in a Riley Blake Blossoms wide back in the color Gray. This wide back fabric is a fun speckle print that comes in a few different colors. It’s a wide back so no piecing required for that backing fabric. You know I love a good wide back fabric.

Baby Scrappy Hearts Quilt

Today I’m sharing this adorable little Baby Scrappy Hearts quilt. I made this heart quilt last year but somehow it never made it up on the blog.

Scrappy Hearts is last years heart quilt pattern. The name of the quilt says it all, it’s scrappy! Scrappy friendly, stash friendly, fat quarter friendly.

This baby sized Scrappy Hearts quilt is made up using my friend Anna’s Driftless fabric line for Robert Kaufman.

Driftless fabric line by Robert Kaufman

I wanted to use something other than pinks and reds for this little heart baby quilt so I used the Driftless fabric line for Robert Kaufman. This line has such pretty blues with a sprinkling of corals.

Easy heart quilt pattern

Scrappy Hearts is a pretty quick and easy heart quilt pattern. It uses simple squares and half square triangles.

My quilt patterns usually have you making your half square triangles a little big so you can trim to size. I find that method so much more precise. I’ve always been terrible at making half square triangles perfectly to size. Plus I find trimming half square triangles satisfying and even a little therapeutic 🙂

Scrappy friendly heart quilt pattern

Because Scrappy Hearts is made up using squares, it is the perfect scrappy quilt pattern! While I didn’t use scraps for this version, you can swap out all of those squares for squares cut from your scrap stash.

The original Scrappy Hearts quilt is made from my pink scraps and pink fabric stash.

Essex Linen flax background

The background of this baby Scrappy Hearts quilt is Essex Linen in the color flax. The Driftless fabric line is all linen from the Robert Kaufman lines. So adding in a linen background kept the texture all the same.

I love quilting with linen and really love the extra texture it adds. I’ve pretty much only used Robert Kaufman Essex Linens in my quilts so I don’t have much experience sewing with other options.

Quilting with Essex Linen

Linen will shrink quite a bit more than a regular quilting cotton. I always use a smaller stitch length like 1.8 when quilting with linen. Pre-washing is never a bad idea but I will admit that I never pre-wash myself.

You can expect to loose a few inches on each side of your linen quilt when you wash it for the first time. I remember how surprised I was the first time I washed a linen quilt. It shrunk a lot!

What I really love about linen quilts is how warm they are! That surprised me too. We reach for the linen quilts way more than the cotton ones over here because they are warmer. Plus they get softer with each wash.

Wavy Stitch machine quilting

Is anyone surprised that I quilted wavy stitches on this baby Scrappy Hearts quilt…lol. If I quilt a quilt myself, 9.5 times out of 10 it will be this wavy stitch quilting.

It’s the same technique as the zig zag stitch in this tutorial but uses a wavy stitch instead of a multi stitch zig zag stitch.

The quilted lines are spaced 3/4 inch apart.

I keep using that wavy stitch because look at the beautiful texture it creates! The texture holds up through washes much better than straight line quilting so it’s become my go-to.

Scrappy Hearts Quilt Pattern

Scrappy Hearts is available in the Quilty Love shop. The quilt pattern includes instructions for a Baby size, a throw size and a twin size. It is scrappy friendly, stash friendly and fat quarter friendly.

I would call this one a beginner or ambitious beginner quilt pattern.

Scrappy Hearts quilt pattern

This happy scrappy heart quilt brought all the warm fuzzies as I was making it. It brought back a rush of happy feelings and really reminded me just how much I love quilting.

Scrap friendly quilt

Scrappy Hearts is designed with your scrap stash in mind. It’s a perfect quilt for digging through the scrap stash. Stick with one color like I did here with the pinks, or choose a few to make up your blocks.

The pattern does include fat quarter cutting instructions also.

Solid or scrappy background

The pattern for this heart quilt includes instructions for using both a solid or a scrappy background. I’m excited to make up a scrappy version using all of my low volume scraps as the background.

Baby, throw and twin

Scrappy Hearts quilt includes instructions for three quilt sizes! Make a baby size, throw size or a twin size. Or, make one block as a mini quilt!

Join us for the Scrappy Hearts Quilt Along!

The quilt along will take place on instragram under the hashtag #scrappyheartsquilt. Sign up for the weekly newsletter so you don’t miss a thing.

The quilt along will be short and sweet and should be easy enough for most quilters to follow along. I encourage you all to use your scraps for this one! The pattern does include fat quarter instructions also if you want to use fat quarters from your stash.

I used all pinks for my version of the Scrappy Hearts quilt. Majority of these fabrics came from my scrap bins with a few additional fat quarters from my stash. I love that this quilt can be made entirely from scraps! Especially if you do a scrappy background. I plan to do a scrappy background for my quilt along version. I’m so excited!

Scrappy quilts are just so much fun to make. They tend to bring back all of the happy memories of the previous quilts made with the scraps. I think that’s why I love them so much.

I dressed the baby in these cute vintage overalls from the 60s for a quick Scrappy Hearts photo shoot. She’s busy these days so you have to work quick with her!

I had this pretty yellow floral fabric in my stash for the backing. I’ve been saving it for the perfect quilt and I love how it pairs with this pink heart quilt. The fabric is a floral by Sevenberry for Robert Kaufman.

Quilting

I quilted this Scrappy Hearts quilt myself on the Janome MC6700p using a walking foot. This is the serpentine stitch that I love so much. It’s done the exact same way as the zig zag stitch in this tutorial but with the wavy setting instead.

I hope you guys loving making this quilt! You can grab a copy in the Quilty Love pattern shop.
