Final Clue and Reveal
This clue will be the final reveal with options! Please read all the
directions so you can decide your options BEFORE CUTTING.
For Option 1
From your Reds, Pinks or Greens, cut the following:
o A - 6 Strips measuring 5.75” x 17.25”
o B - 2 Strips measuring 5.75” x 23”
o C - 4 Strips measuring 5.75” x 16.5”
o D - 6 Strips measuring 5.75” x 8.5”
From your Background fabric, cut the following:
E - 6 Strips measuring 5.75” x WOF (with of fabric)
F - 6 Strips measuring 5.75” x 25”
Stitch your strip together using 1⁄4” seam allowances.
From your Background fabric you will create 6 Strips. Using one
E and one F to make the 6 strips.
You will be laying out 5 Strips including 13 of your previously
constructed heart blocks.
Refer to the diagram below for your layout.
Here is where you will have options to make this quilt your own.
The quilt as it laid out above will finish at 58 x 58. Make your quilt
sandwich, quilt as desired and add binding for a modern look.
You can mix up your alpha blocks using assorted colors or shades
for an interesting look as shown in the following layout.
Another option is to add borders to your quilt which will enlarge it to
68” x 68”. To add one border, you will need to cut your fabric strips
as follows: Cut 6 strips that measure 5.75” x WOF and piece them to
58” each. (measure your finished center of your quilt first to make
sure your strip will be wide enough. Everyone has a different 1⁄4”
seam allowance as they stitch, so measure first and cut to your
measure. You can add your heart blocks to the corners or leave
them off and create a solid border.
The next option is to create strip sets and cut them to the alpha
sizes indicated in the first layout to create the following option.
To create your strip sets, for the quilt without a border cut the
following:
From your Red fabric cut 12 strips measuring 2.25” x WOF
From your Background fabric cut 6 strips measure 2.25” x WOF
Make your strip sets and cut to measure and layout as in the Alpha Directions
For Candy Stripe borders you will need to cut an additional
12 strips of your red fabric and an additional 6 strips of your
background fabric. Make your strip set and cut to measure as
outlined in the Border option directions above.
Next Friday, January 23rd, 2026, I will post 2 additional bonus
projects. A table runner option and a table topper option for you.
Remember, you can use any of the 3 hearts in clues 1, 2 or 3.
I hope you enjoyed this quick quilt! Please share photos of your
process with me. Your feedback is welcomed!
