Tips on Fabrics and Colors

When choosing fabrics for your Heart Block, consider the emotion you want to convey. Classic reds and pinks on a white or cream background are perfect for a traditional look, especially around Valentine’s Day. For a softer, more romantic palette, try blush, peach, rose, or lavender paired with neutral backgrounds like taupe, gray, or soft beige.

If you’re making a modern heart quilt, go bold with unexpected colors—try teal, mustard, coral, or even black and white for a dramatic, graphic effect. Using scrappy fabrics is another fun option that adds a whimsical, homemade feel. You can even use a different fabric for each heart in a larger quilt to create a joyful, colorful expression of love.

For background fabrics, solids or low-volume prints work best, allowing the heart shape to stand out. If you’re using prints, make sure they contrast well with the heart fabric so the shape remains clear and defined. Don’t be afraid to play with gradients, ombrés, or fussy cuts for added personality!
