Cozy love
A sweet scrappy heart quilt block
Strolling down memory lane with the beloved fairy tale with a twist through this new fabric collection, To Grandmother’s House designed by Jennifer Long for Riley Blake Designs.
Technique
Stitch and Flip Method (SNF) is used to make a Cozy Love quilt block.
Place (2) pieces right sides together, matching raw edges in the corner to be replaced.
Draw a diagonal line on the wrong side of the smaller piece across the corner.
Stitch on the drawn line. Trim ¼” away from the sewn line.
Flip the small piece away from the bottom piece and press seam open.
The size of the larger, original piece does not change.
Material for (1) one block
2) 5″ x 9.5″, pink fabric for the center heart block
(2) 5″ squares, white fabric for the center heart block
(4) 2″ squares, white fabric for the center heart block
(16) 3.5″ squares for scrappy borders
Making the heart Block
Gather (4) 2″ squares from white fabric, line up at the top corners of (2) 5″ x 9.5″ rectangles (Pink fabric). Using SNF method as explained above to create corners for the heart block. Then line up (2) 5″ squares with the bottom of the rectangles, using SNF method to make the bottom corners. Placement matters! Pay close attention to the orientation of each unit before you trim.

This block is such a quick make and perfect to use up your scraps. I decided to make 9 blocks, add some sashing strips and turn them into a lap size quilt.
