Heart Quilt
Date Submitted: October 03, 2006
Make a narrow 1/8-inch hem along both long edges of ruffle. Gather top edge by machine basting (loosen the top tension slightly) ¼ inch from edge. Pull the bobbin thread and gather evenly to fit around the chair. With the glue gun starting at center back and folding under raw edges, glue ruffle to bottom edge of chair so the bottom of the ruffle is even with the bottom edge of chair. 
1. Cut 16 3" squares
2. Sew 4 rows of 4 squares
3. Sew the 4 rows together
4. Fold patchwork in half, cut out heart shaped motif about 10" high x 9" wide. (This is approximate measurements.)
5. Cut out thin batting same size as heart
6. Center batting and heart on background piece 11" high x 10" wide. I used muslin.
7. Pin and blanket stitch around entire heart
8. Sew 2" borders to sides, then top and bottom
9. Place backing piece 15" x 14" down on top of heart, right sides together. Sew 1/4" seam around outside edge of borders, leaving about 4" opening to turn.
10. Turn right side out and hand stitch opening close.
11. Sew buttons on corner of each square (optional)
Hang with natural jute or pretty ribbons. About Author
