This is one of the quilt pattern blocks from my Quilt Ladies, it’s a great quilt block of using up scraps, but if you plan colors out, it’s wonderful too. This is from my book “53 Quilt Pattern Blocks”
Here is My little table topper quilt pattern for you. No calories, no watering and you can use up a few fabric scraps. If you are not into red right now, change it up and make yours any colors you like. Happy Valentine’s Day

68 quilt pattern blocks, with complete cutting and piecing instructions. Make the quilt blocks as shown, a quilt which is 76″ x 84″ or just as a single quilt project reference of quilt blocks.
“The Ladies” are The Quilt Ladies. This project started as a gift idea and turned into a quilt pattern. The Ladies started by deciding the block size of eight inches by eight inches and the piecing of only straight seams. Drawing out each quilt block on graph paper and all hand written directions, they discovered they had lots of star patterns and they liked the quilt blocks that look complicated but weren’t. So, they purchased fabric and made each quilt block.
This is probably my favorite part of the quilting process. Putting it all together ! When I first took a quilting class, the teacher talked about the three steps of making a quilt, 1) the idea/purchase, 2)the making of the quilt, 3) finished, the quilting/binding.
I think of this often, as I really LOVE the idea/purchase part, but a stack of fabric or blocks can NOT be called a quilt.
SO….Let’s start to put the quilt together.
