Crazy Hearts are so much fun to make!
You can make them in "solid" patterns as I did in this wall hanging.

| I made this wall hanging in 2011. |
Or, if you look up-close at some of these hearts below, you can make your hearts "scrappy". There are no limits or "rules" when it comes to creating Crazy Hearts.
Also, a good resource for creating "letters&words" is: Word Play Quilts by Tonya Ricucci.
Sooo if ya find ya have a pile of scraps laying around, and want to make some Crazy Hearts yourself, perhaps for a table runner, pillow, wall hanging or even a quilt,
here's a little tutorial I put together for ya:
Once ya get the hang of it, they are just way too fun to make! I've had my own pile growing for a year or two. But! Today, I'm finally sewing them together to make a quilt top for my ALYoF February goal. YAH!! Hope ya have fun! Val:)
Thanks for sharing! Love these funky hearts!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Val -- I've been looking forward to this -- did some many years ago but couldn't remember the process!
ReplyDeleteYou are very welcome Mary!!
DeleteThanks Val, I have an at least 10 year old project like this in a box somewhere that I've been meaning to resurrect. This just might get me going again! ;)
ReplyDeleteDo it!!! Do it!!!
DeleteThis does look fun and heartfelt! ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing this tut! I was wondering if there was a seam down the center of the hearts.
ReplyDeleteThanks Val can't wait to try that some time!
ReplyDeleteWow, that does look easy and fun. By the look of the finished product, I thought it would have been more complicated. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks Val, this looks great fun; I'm definitely going to make some of these.
