Friendship Heart Quilt Block Tutorial

by

For a new twist on an old favorite, give this friendship love quilt block from A Quilting Sheep a try.  The heart in the middle of this traditional friendship star block takes it up to another level.

When finished, the quilt block measures 12″.  It is an easy block to put together, but you do need to do a few special cuts.  No worries though, the tutorial has detailed step by step photos and instructions to guide you through the process.

This is such a fun block, and it would look lovely made in an entire quilt. Like many of the other block patterns I bring to you, this would be a good scrap busting design.  The color combinations are endless.

I love the idea of combining an old design with a new one, and let’s be honest…what goes better together than friendship and love.

Smart Shopping for Quilters – Monday Precut Fabric Sales

Let’s be honest — quilting is a joy, but it can also be an investment. Fabric costs have crept up over the years, and many of us want to stretch our quilting budget as far as possible without compromising on quality or creativity. That’s why I love Fat Quarter Shop’s Precuts of the Week Monday sale. It’s smart shopping at its finest.

Each Monday, a single precut is offered at a special price. It might be a seasonal collection, a bestselling designer, or a new release you’ve been eyeing. Precuts are already efficient — coordinated, pre-cut, and ready to sew — and a discount on top of that makes them even more appealing.

If you’re looking for smart, budget-friendly quilt inspiration, these CraftGossip resources are must-reads:

What I appreciate most about precut deals is that they eliminate the overwhelm. Instead of comparing dozens of bundles, you get one curated offer to consider. It takes the hesitation out of buying and makes it easier to build your stash intentionally.

It’s also a fantastic way to shop ahead for holiday sewing, baby quilts, hostess gifts, and charity projects. Precuts lend themselves beautifully to fast, reliable patterns — especially strip quilts and charm square designs. If you need inspiration, this list is a great jumping-off point:

If you enjoy stretching your quilting dollars while still working with high-quality fabrics, add the Monday Precut sale to your routine. It’s a little moment of joy and practicality rolled into one.

Shop smart this Monday
