❤️ Scrappy Heart Quilt Block (12" x 12") – Free Pattern

If you love working with scraps and leftover jelly roll strips, this block is going to make you very happy 💛

This 12" x 12" Heart Quilt Block is one of those designs that looks detailed and complex, but once you start sewing, you’ll realize it’s actually very beginner-friendly. It’s built with simple shapes—squares and rectangles—plus a few snowball corners to create that soft heart shape.

✂️ Why You’ll Love This Block

• Perfect for scrappy quilting

• Great use of leftover jelly roll (2½") strips

• Beginner-friendly with a clean construction flow

• A lovely block for cushions, mini quilts, or gifts

This is the kind of block where you can just play with fabric—mix florals, dots, batiks, or anything you have on hand. The more variety, the more charming it looks.

🧵 Design Notes

This block is constructed in a log cabin style, building outward from the center.The heart shape is formed using snowball corners, which means no curved piecing at all.

If you’ve never tried snowball corners before—don’t worry! It’s simply sewing a small square on the corner, trimming, and pressing. Very beginner-friendly and quite satisfying.

Fabric Ideas

This block really shines when you:

• Use a mix of reds, pinks, or warm tones for the heart

• Keep the background light to make the shape pop

• Combine different prints for a fun, textured look

Tip: If you want a softer look, choose fabrics within the same color family.If you want something bold—go full scrappy and mix everything!
