Happy International Quilting Day! Today we are celebrating the gift of quilting - all the fabric, tools, quilty friends, and of course... QUILTS!
This is my first version. The pattern uses 1.5" squares and my version uses 1" squares (which finish at .5".) and I use a fun method of sewing 9 patch blocks. So sweet and perfect for an "I love quilting" project!
My second version will be part of my March Table Scraps Challenge project using green fabrics, which is the colour of the month for the RSC quilters.
I'm teaching my first online class today at an International Quilting Day celebration that my guild is co-sponsoring. It will be fun to celebrate this day will like-minded friends!
Another fun thing to do today would be to start a new quilt. The Fat Quarter shop has posted a free pattern for a lovely World Piece Quilt if you need a suggestion of something you can make from your stash!
Whatever you get up to today, try to enjoy some quilting time!

Oh wow. That block has so many small pieces... Absolutely wonderful.....
What an adorable pattern to mini size. Even cuter in the tiny version.
What a fun little block
Gosh, I was thinking I needed to look for another postage stamp project. Thanks for the inspiration and link.
Sounds like you have a fun day planned!
Mini sized the pattern? You are a quilter after my own heart, Kathy!!
That makes an adorable heart, Kathy! Have fun teaching your class today!
Wow! Tiny but oh so cute! Have fun with your class today. It sounded like a lot of fun.
Love your RSC block, Kathy!
What a beautiful idea to use craps.
You really are very good at the small stitching stuff. Love the green scrappy heart. Hope your class went well and you got in a good bit of stitching time on International Quilting Day.
I hope the class went well.
Love how you mini-sized the heart!
What a sweet heart block but I never would have miniaturized it. Good for you!
