I recently sewed up another version of my Heartfelt Quilt – this time the crib size.
This heart quilt pattern is a lot of fun to plan and choose colours for. In an effort to make this part even easier, I updated the pattern to include colouring in sheets.
These sheets can be printed out and coloured in to your heart’s content, auditioning all your colour ideas.
I knew this quilt was for a little girl and that pink was a feature colour for the nursery. I rifled through my stash and found I had quite a good selection of pinks. After playing with some gold and pink options, I settled on the pink and teal/aqua combo instead.
To my eye it looks quite a modern colour combination. It was also very satisfying making the quilt entirely from stash (something I need to do more often, or so my cupboard tells me).
I was able to use the scraps left over from my half yards to form a scrappy binding for this one.
The backing was a run of yardage by Joel Dewberry that I’ve had for a while. I was very happy to find just the perfect project for it. The pattern is larger scale and very decorative – I’d love to see it with some embroidered embellishments. (Although it’s an older collection there is still some of the gold and turquoise versions of this fabric available on Etsy.*)
It was fun to sew up this heart quilt pattern with such bright, cheery colours. I do hope it’s new owner will enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.
If you’d like to make your own Heartfelt quilt, you can find the pattern (now with colouring sheets) in my shop.

I just Love this quilt! The colors all go so well and the shading or transparency is very clever. I’m going to have to try that! After looking at all your heart quilt posts, they’re all great! Yes, for me, I have to match patterns/stripes in my HST and blocks. Otherwise for me it becomes an optical illusion of sorts. I think it makes a difference in overall workmanship, rush and don’t really care (as that is how it appears to me) or take just a little more time for the look of perfection. I like how you name your fabrics too. I thoroughly enjoy your blog, Thank you!
Such a sweet baby quilt. Love the colors.
Love the addition of the tea/aqua in this quilt, and the scrappy binding. Very pretty!
Thanks Kathleen – I’m really happy with how this one turned out too!
