Make a Quilted Throw Pillow for Your Valentine
I’ve been having fun with the Valentine theme this month, as I suppose you are already aware if you’ve been following the projects available on the blog! I adore red and pink, cupids and hearts, chocolate candies and pretty, heart-shaped sprinkles. I also love quilting! I thought a quilted throw pillow would be another wonderful idea for Valentine’s Day. You can make one as a gift for your sweetie, or just keep it and enjoy it for yourself. This pillow may be displayed only in February if you wish – but it would also be a fabulous home décor item throughout the year.

This pattern is for a heart quilt block that you can sew on the front of a pillow. It’s lovely, and it’s a relatively simple pattern to make – so you can still do this in time for Valentine’s Day. To do this project, you will need:
•three fabrics of your choice, which we’ll refer to as Fabric 1, Fabric 2, and Fabric 3
•cutting mat (I use a combination cutting mat and ironing board to streamline the entire process)
•iron
•fabric scissors
•rotary cutter
•quilting thread
Step One: Cut the three fabrics – these are the specifications for a 30cm block:
•Fabric 1: two rectangles of 8.9cm by 17cm each
•Fabric 2: three rectangles of 8.9cm by 17cm each
•Fabric 2: four squares of 8.9cm each
•Fabric 2: four squares of 3.8cm each
•Fabric 2: one square of 10cm
•Fabric 3: one rectangle of 8.9cm by 17cm
•Fabric 3: six squares of 8.9cm
•Fabric 3: one square of
