Supplies Required (choose your own colors: I will refer to objects in picture)
One 8" square piece EACH of white and red fabric.
4 strips of 8" x 1.5" gold fabric
4 squares of 1.5" x 1.5" black squares
1 square piece of 10" x 10" black fabric (for back)
1 10" x 10" piece of cotton quilt batting or Hot Pad Insulation
thread
One 8" x 8" piece of paper to draw hearts
or click here for pattern: heart pattern
NOTE: Be sure the pattern measures 8" x 8". If it does not, enlarge or make smaller with a copier, or be sure it will
fit onto space that measures 8" x 8".
|
Draw cutting lines that are 1/4" INSIDE the outer edge of the small hearts (I have drawn the line for you
on the large heart).Trace over your pattern with a heavy, black marker.
Trace Pattern To Fabric
Lay your white fabric, right side up, over your drawing. Use a pencil to trace the INSIDE lines of the hearts onto the fabric.
These lines will become your cutting lines (and the pencil will not show when the project is finished)
Layer Your Fabrics
Place RIGHT SIDES UP your fabric pieces as follows: red on the bottom, then white on top. Hand or machine baste the layers together
around the outer edge, close to the edge.
Cut Away First Layer (to reveal red hearts)
|
|
Cut your white fabric along your cutting lines (be careful to only cut through the white) for all four small hearts and large heart. Remove
the pieces of white fabric that are in the shape of hearts. Carefully snip the corners and curves where necessary (pattern is marked). Turn
under the edges and, using a tiny "invisible" stitch, hem under the edges. Machine stitch around the outer perimeter
of each heart (on the white fabric).

Finish Block
Stitch one gold strip to one side of the layered square. Stitch another gold strip to the opposite side of your layered
square. Stitch one gold strip in the center of two 1.5" black squares. Repeat. Stitch the gold strips with black blocks to
the two remaining sides of the layered square.
Finish Hot Pad
The 10" x 10" black square will be your backing. If you wish to have a hanger, sew it on at this time
Layer your hot pad as follows: Black backing on bottom (wrong side up), quilt batting or felt, hot pad top. Hand baste
all three layers together. Stitch in the ditch along the seams that run along the gold strips if you wish to add a "quilted" touch.
Cut strips of binding from black fabric and attach it to the edges of your hot pad to make a nice edging.
