And it’s finished! Adorable Nine-Patch Heart Quilts. This has been on my list for a little while now. I’ve been beefing up my “Nine Patch The Humble Workhorse” presentation and wanted to recreate the Nine Patch heart quilt I did several years ago. I looked here and there and just could not locate the original pattern that I used.
But low and behold, Megan Collins started a QAL using her newly designed Heart & Stitches pattern. The pattern had everything I needed to recreate my quilt from decades ago. Now I do have a disclaimer, the Heart & Stitches Pattern does NOT include a Nine-Patch. However, there is a nice square space to perfectly fit a Nine-Patch in. If you are interested in the Heart & Stitches pattern check it out here: creative quilt design by MeganCollinsQuilts on Etsy
This is a great pattern for beginners and intermediates alike. It is a nice introduction into curved piecing and Megan makes it easy.
I pulled out my fabrics and saw on my friend Annie Morgans Etsy NineMileQuilts (etsy.com) site that she had some of the prints that were from the same family my chosen fabrics. The fabrics were priced affordably, I ordered them and they arrived very quickly. Talk about “Happy Mail”!
A few weeks ago they had their debut so now I can show them
Hearts to Share is now part of my Nine-Patch Humble Workhorse inventory. I love how it came together. Terry Burris Quilting did the Edge to Edge Quilting on this piece. Although tempted to do a keyboard border I opted for a scrappy border instead. You can see how perfectly that Nine-Patch fits into the Hearts & Stitches block.
This quilt contains all of the extra blocks I made and will go to one of the charity groups here in Richmond for a wee one to play on or cuddle in. Quilting on this was done by Cheryl Maddern. I just love the scrappy binding on this one, it makes my heart smile.
Keep cool and share the love.

What awesome quilts you made with these fabrics!! Brilliant!
Thank you! I don’t always work with brights, but when I do the results are sheer joy! Thank you for offering your fabrics up for sale so I could make these quilts even more special!
They look Great!
Thank you Lori. They were a joy to work on. Diane
Hi Diane! Oh, I am a huge fan of the nine-patch block. For ages, that was the only baby quilt we ever made in an Irish Chain layout. Then I expanded to the nine-patch in the center of stars – the options are endless for that block. Workhorse is right! Love your quilt!! It looks fabulous. ~smile~ Roseanne
Sew cute! Looks like these would be great for using up scraps, too 🙂
