Valentine Quilt Tutorial--sort of....




I get inquiries about a pattern for this Valentine quilt I made a few years ago...I had a ton of random Valentine prints and I figured that a Valentine quilt would be wonderful for my classroom.  It's finished size is about 48" x 48".


The design in EQ....



I've never made a pattern, but it was quite simple, though, just log cabin blocks.  Some (8) were all light colored, some (14) were all dark, and some (14) were half/half.  This was the design in EQ....On the half and half blocks, I used a medium pink center.  Maybe this will help if you'd like to make one yourself.  I used 1.5" strips so they finished at 1" wide logs....


I did three rounds around the center...so 12 logs in each block.  I cut the center squares at 2.5" each (finished 2")....

Maybe this will help you out....Good luck!
