Heart Cat - 6" Free Quilt Block Pattern

Heart Cat - 6" Quilt Block

Here's another 6" paper-pieced quilt block pattern that is just purr-fect for cat lovers!

Cutting Instructions:

Note: When paper-piecing, I cut larger pieces than I actually need to ensure that I won't have problem covering an area if I don't place it in exactly the right spot. The cutting instructions below are for larger pieces. If you'd rather cut smaller, more exact pieces, feel free to do so.

Instructions:

Step 1: Print out the paper foundation pattern. Cut out each of the two units just outside of the dashed lines of the seam allowance.

Step 2: Using a VERY short stitch length setting on your sewing machine, paper-piece each unit following the numbers on the printed foundation.

Step 3: When both of the two units have been pieced, carefully trim away the excess paper and fabric by cutting on the dashed lines of the seam allowance.

Step 4: With right sides together, layer Unit B on Unit A. Pin in place, then stitch together using a 1/4" seam allowance. Remove the paper from the seam allowance (on both sides) and press this seam open.

Step 5: Carefully remove the paper from the back of the block and you're done!
