Arrange 2 pieces to create a heart in the corner of a
piece of fabric.or
Using 8 pieces put a heart in each corner of a
background block.
A second shape
Using the template place it over the heart shape with the first curved
line about 2∕3 of the way down from the top edge of the shape.
Trace the curved line onto the heart shape.
Using the rotary cutter cut along the line to create a small petal shape
and a triangle.
Add a circle to the center of the background block for
the hearts to surround.
Combine 8 together to create a wreath by leaving the middle open.
Or add a small circle for the center piece to create a flower. Make 3 of
these blocks and use them for a table runner.
Another option is to use 2 different fabrics for the heart and
background to create a positive/negative effect. Use the smallest size
and make a mug rug for Valentine's Day or a quilted postcard.
Use 8 heart pieces to create a flower. Sew them
together along the straight edge the same as the
wagon wheel shape was made. Dress it up by putting
a button in the middle. Make a throw pillow out of it
or use it for one side of a tote bag.
After using all these templates I still need to make a decision on which
shapes to use in my project.
Perfect hearts with the Carefree Curves heart template every time but I
don't think the hearts have won a spot in my project even though they
are perfectly shaped.
