NEW : Simple FPP Heart block

So, hands up, who loves to add hearts to their patchwork projects? The heart is such a popular shape and I think it is because the shape is so lovely and perhaps it is a reflection of the love that we put into projects that we make with care for ourselves and the ones that we love!

As you well know, I truly love Foundation Paper Piecing and I know so many of you do too! I have the Facets of the Heart FPP pattern, but I’ll admit, it’s probably not the first pattern you would try as a beginner. This led me to think about a simpler design for a heart that would be great for beginner, but would also be super as a quick make for those more comfortable with Foundation Paper Piecing as a skill.

You will love this pattern as it will be great for adding to so many of your patchwork projects. The great thing about this pattern (other than the wonderful layout I use) is that it includes 5 block sizes, ranging from the weenie 2″ up to a slightly lager 10″ version. I can’t wait to see what projects you make with the Simple FPP Heart pattern!
