Looking for a fun, last minute Valentine’s Day project?
Check out my version of Fat Quarter Shop’s Love Note mini quilt.
This mini quilt comes together before you can say those three little words. Haha!
The pattern is totally FREE! Click the button below to get your copy.
I made my version with a few Basics from Riley Blake Designs, including my Hearts Seasonal Basic. I also used Dapple Dot and Confetti Cotton Solids. For the binding, I used Gunny Sack, a Seasonal Basic by Lori Holt.
To mix it up a bit, I used my Cheerfully Red Main Floral in white for the backing.
For piecing and quilting, I used my BabyLock Journey and Aurifil 50 WT thread.
Check out the image below. I love to stand and sew. It’s easier for me to navigate cutting, sewing, and ironing. When we moved back to NYC, I found that our vintage mid-century dresser was the perfect height. Whatever it takes, right?
If you don’t make the Love Note mini quilt this year, add it to your list for next year! Check out Beverly and Amy’s versions below. They’re too cute. I especially love Amy’s added embroidery.
