It's one month until Valentine's Day! Today I'm sharing the perfect Valentine's Day quilt that I finished yesterday. This is Quilty Cabins.
Quilty Cabins is a long cabin quilt design with a heart pieced right into the blocks. There is no applique in this quilt; it is made with traditional piecing. This pattern is Fat Quarter friendly and includes 6 sizes so you can make just the size you want.
The Quilty Cabins quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.
I am using this quilt as a wall hanging and it is made following the Baby size instructions. It measures approximate 35" square.
In January of 2024, I began hosting a Quilty Cabins Quilt Along with my newsletter subscribers, and this is the quilt I began making along with them. Just after beginning the QAL, I had to head west to help my parents and was gone for almost three months, so the QAL was canceled, and my quilt blocks were stored away.
Yesterday I assembled the blocks and quilted and bound the quilt top and am sharing it with you today, one month before Valentine's Day!
Oh, Those Fabrics!
This quilt is made with the Sincerely Yours fabric collection by Sherri and Chelsi of A Quilting Life for Moda Fabrics. It's from a few years ago, and I was saving it for the perfect pattern, and that is Quilty Cabins!
The Baby size quilt is made with 5 FQs or scraps, and using scraps is the better option as using only 5 FQs would make it very difficult to keep matching pieces from touching each other. Using a FQ bundle of Sincerely Yours, I cut just a few strips from each print so almost the entire collection is included in this quilt. Only the light prints were excluded.
The quilt pattern includes a chart that details how many of each piece size are needed, so it's really easy to use scraps instead of fat quarters.
Longarm Machine Quilting
The digital quilting design used is Heart to Heart by Karlee Porter. The design is stitched out horizontally, so the quilt top must be placed horizontally on the rails with the top of the quilt on the same side as the top of the hearts. You don't want the hearts upside-down! ♥ Thread color is Natural White, quilted on my Handi Quilter Amara with ProStitcher.
The backing is Bee Basics Heart in Red by Riley Blake Designs, available right here in the shop, and the binding is a heart print from the Sincerely Yours collection.
