Sometimes you need to sew something quick and sweet, just because! That’s what happened to me when I saw a fun and free heart block tutorial by Julie Cefalu of The Crafty Quilter: the Ombre Heart Tutorial!
I dug into my scrap bins and pulled these pretty pinks from Lella Boutique and the surrounding taupe floral from Corey Yoder, both for Moda. The fabric was flying and I was having quite the time, all to make this sweet little block!
What will I do with my Ombre Heart block? It may become a mug rug. It may become a petite pillow. It would be wonderful to make a whole quilt of these blocks, wouldn’t it?
Thank you so much to Julie for sharing this fun tutorial with all of us. The Crafty Quilter has a design style I love and a generous quilting heart. I hope you’ll zip on over to her blog and check it out!

Yep, i checked out, as I've subscribed to her blog a few year now. She has some beautiful work! You do too -patterns (I have purchased) and projects. I don't subscribe to a lot of blogs but only the ones with the CUTE ideas! 🙂 Thanks for sharing…. 🙂
Thanks so much Monica! We sure appreciate your support and kind words!
Oh yay!! I'm going to make this tomorrow!!! Thank you for sharing 💕
Taunja, you are the best! Thank you for sharing my Ombre heart tutorial. I'm tickled pink that it's been so well received!
Your heart block is so very sweet! Love the fussy-cut 'love' print in there!
You are so welcome Michelle! Have fun!
Thanks Sigi! I was so tickled when I found that bit of pink with the love words! 🙂
Thank YOU Julie! It's such a fun tutorial!
This block is just precious! I believe it would make an amazing larger quilt with bunches of these blocks! Or even just this same idea but magnified to a larger size. Beautiful choice of fabrics!
Thanks so much Christen! It's a lot of fun and I hope you'll give Julie's tutorial a try! 🙂
I love that ombre heart block. So so pretty with those fabrics!!
