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!

Great beginner quilt

Scrappy Hearts is a perfect beginner quilt! It’s part of the Quilty Love simple series patterns which means it’s quick, easy and beginner friendly. This quilt goes together in no time.

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.

Quilty Trees includes instructions for all of the quilt sizes! Make a baby size, a throw sizes, a twin size and a Queen or King size.

Beginner Friendly

Quilty Trees is very beginner friendly. This tree quilt pattern is easy to follow along for the beginner quilter. It’s very forgiving since there are no seams to line up.

Use your stash!

This quilt pattern is super versatile since you can use fat eighths, fat quarters, 10in squares or your scraps! The cutting instructions are included in the quilt pattern for each size precut.

Quick and easy

Quilty Trees is a quick and easy quilt to make up! Most quilters will be able to have this one done in a day or a weekend.

I pulled a variety of solid greens for my version of Quilty Trees. I added the gingham and a subtle speckled print for some fun contrast.

This quilt is quilted on my machine using my favorite wavy stitch. It quilted up the exact same way as the multi zig zag stitch but uses the wavy stitch instead.

I kept this quilt soft and modern by using this subtle cream fabric for the backing and binding. I tend to use the backing as the binding often since it is the perfect way to use up all of that excess fabric from the backing. This quilt reminds me a little of the farmhouse style that is popular right now.

Make it scrappy

The Quilty Trees quilt pattern includes a full on scrappy option too! The instructions are included to make scrappy version using your scrap stash. I’m excited to make up this quilt below using my low volume scraps as the background and my greens as the trees.

Use multiple squares for the trees or use one fabric for the trees and a have a scrappy background.

Below is the colorful and playful Ruby Star baby version of Quilty Trees. I’m lovingly referring to this one as the Dr. Seuss tree quilt :)

Find Quilty Trees in the Quilty Love Shop.

Quilty Stars Quilt – The solid baby ones

The Quilty Stars quilt pattern includes a nice and easy baby size quilt. Quilty Stars is the brand new Quilty Love pattern available in the shop.

Use solids or prints

I used my leftover At Then Came June Kona bundles for two Quilty Stars baby quilts. I separated the colors out into two different versions. This baby size doesn’t need a lot of fabric so it was great for these leftover pieces.

Beginner friendly quilt pattern

Quilty Stars is a good beginner friendly quilt pattern. The measurements leave plenty of room for trimming up perfectly sized half square triangles. The trimmings of these two solid quilts were too pretty not to photograph :)

The original Quilty Stars Quilt is made up using prints from my scrap bins so I wanted to see how this quilt might look in solids. It turned out so fun in these range of colors. Each quilt sticks with two colorways to keep it a bit more cohesive.

All the quilt sizes

The Quilty Stars quilt pattern includes instructions for a baby size, throw size, twin size and king size. It also includes instructions for a solid background like these quilts or a super scrappy background.

Since I quilted these baby quilts myself I went with my favorite wavy stitch pattern. It’s simple, easy and so forgiving. Plus, look at that texture!

I have a similar tutorial for this kind of quilting here. Swap out the multi stitch zig zag setting for the wavy stitch on your machine.

Our little babes is already 6 months old! I brought her outside for a fun photo shoot with these two new baby quilts.

Make Quilty Stars for your next quick and easy baby quilt! Use up that stash of scraps or fat quarters for this fun scrappy star quilt

Quilty Stars Quilt pattern – The Scrappy blue one

There is a brand new scrappy star quilt pattern in the Quilty Love shop today! I’m excited to tell you all about the Quilty Stars quilt pattern!

Join the slow summer scrappy sew along starting in July!

Quilty Stars quilt pattern is a scrap friendly quilt pattern

This new star quilt pattern is inspired by my scrap bins ;) I’ve been itching to make another scrappy quilt to help use up those scraps we all love to stash. Quilty Stars quilt pattern is a scrap buster or stash buster for sure!

The test block is made up full on scrappy. The pattern includes instructions for a scrappy background as shown in the block below or a solid background as shown in the cover version.

This pattern is designed around digging through those scrap bins. I tried to keep the sizes compatible with fabric sizes you might find in your own scrap bin.

All the quilt sizes

Quilty Stars includes instructions for a baby size, throw size, twin size and a king size.

Fat quarter, fat eighth and charm friendly

Feel free to dig through your stash for fat quarters, charm packs or fat eighths also! Any of those will also work for this quilt pattern.

Low volume background or solid background

I’m super excited to make up the scrappy version and hopefully make a dent in my scrap bins. I’m using a variety of low volume fabrics for my background. Low volume fabrics are the fabrics that read more neutral. They may still be a print but they are light in color and contrast nicely with a bold color.

For the cover version, I used my very favorite scrappy color choice….blue! If I could only ever quilt with one color again, it would have to be blue. Please don’t ever make me make that choice though…ha

I made up a few sample blocks in different colors below. I’m thinking I should just finish the rainbow and make a rainbow quilt :)

Monochromatic or colorful

Scrap quilts are such interesting quilts to make! All of the different prints mixed together make them so fun and pretty. Stick with a monochromatic color scheme like this blue one or go scrappy crazy with all of the different colors! There really is a lot of variety within this quilt pattern.

Star quilt block

The other thing that inspired this quilt besides scraps is the star pattern. I created it with the Fourth of July in mind. How fun would it be in a red, white and blue version?!

I don’t have a lot of red scraps in my scrap bins so I just stuck with blue and white ;)
