Lotta Love Blocks Tutorial

Feb 7

Hi, everyone! I cannot believe it’s already February. It seems like we were just chatting One Scrappy Santa yesterday, but now we’re on to hearts and pink and love. Time marches on, as it always does. To celebrate this new season, I’m excited to share a “lovely” new tutorial with you over on the Havel’s Sewing blog!

The Lotta Love Blocks are an extension of the fun that started with my Halloween BOO! Blocks and Christmas Cheer Blocks patterns. With the addition of “L,” “V,” and “E” blocks, you’re all set to bring a little extra love into your home for Valentine’s or any time of the year. And while I didn’t include it in the pattern, these blocks also work with the exclamation-point block from the BOO! Blocks pattern, so feel free to add it on for a little extra excitement.

The Lotta Love Blocks pattern walks you through making the individual blocks and then provides basic instructions for turning them into coasters/trivets (with two finishing options) or a sweet “Love” pillow. The size of these blocks also makes them perfect for sampler-style quilts.

You can go scrappy with your background like I did or use yardage — the pattern includes instructions for both. So break out those pink and red scraps and get started. I can’t wait to see how you use them in your own crafts!
