If you have not listened to my talk show yet, I had a SUPER show on Monday and I think you should take a listen. With 6 years of shows already, there is a lot of super quilting talk that you can listen to while sewing, ironing, waiting on people like we have to do. Each week I talk with 3 to 4 guests about quilting, this week we took a look at how to think about getting rid of projects/fabric that we no longer love or want to work on. ... plus more!
"Never ending love", you knew a heart was coming .. right? AND this is my first block that is upsized!
Since we have more blocks now I'm switching up the presentation. Single block, then below is the position in my layout. I have the layout directions in progress but other projects have taking priority at the moment.
For the over achievers in the group. ... the little squares are 2" finished, which means you sew up 2.5" squares.
So what size is this puppy anyway??
.......keep reading...!

Block 8 is an 18" square, 18.5" x 18.5" before you sew it into your quilt. The bottom left square is also that size block
Are you sticking with ONLY 12" blocks? The center unit is 12" with the hearts... you can see that in the pattern!
