Welcome friends!
I am so happy you are visiting with me on my blog today.
My block, Pixie Hearts is in the new Quiltmaker’s 100 Blocks magazine and I am excited to share it with you!
Here is my block:
I love how the squares look like like hearts- in a pixelated, modern way. Here is what it would look like as a quilt.
And here are some ways you can recolor it. Go bold for a striking Valentine’s Day table topper!
Or a little bright as a runner!
Go soft and sweet for a baby quilt!
Or as a springtime runner!
Depending on where you place your light, darks and brights, you can make the block look different.
Don’t you love seeing different ways you can color quilts? I would love to know what you would do.
Leave me a comment below telling me what colors you would use and you will be entered into the giveaway for a chance to win a copy of the Quiltmaker’s 100 Blocks vol 14 magazine!

Good job, Colorado gal, would have been fun to hear your talk at ACQ! Colors on your block, I would go with scrappy reds, yet pair them up to emphasis the hearts. I have a double 4 patch quilt where some of the blocks accidentally came out like your hearts. Kathy in NE Colo

I can’t decide between the last two. Both are great.
I always like red, white, and blue.

I like the red,white and black variation.

I think blue, yellow with a hint of green would be a great combination.
I would definitely go scrappy, keeping the “heart” shape consistently the same fabric.
I do love the blue and green option, but right now I am on a fall kick, making things in rich reds, oranges, yellows, and browns. I would love to make a table runner for every season, starting with one using fall colors.
Love teal and peach tones. Would be great in your pattern.
I have been thinking about heart quilt that would be easy and this looks like a great possible quilt in reds and whites, shall I add an accent? I will be playing. thanks for the idea and I will be joining your newsletter.

I’d go for red, white and blue.
I would definitely make your design in black, red and white. It would make a stunning quilt. Thanks for your giveaway.
I love your block. I like the colors but would do each block with different fabrics from the color family – to give it a scrappy look.
Fun block, how about blue, green and purple?
I love greens and blues. I also love neutrals and earthtones and the colors of fall.
I have a niece who likes pink and brown together and I think this block would work in those colors.
I follow you on Bloglovin’
I’d like this in pinks and reds. Great block!
I love how it looks different using various placements of the light/dark. One night at quilt guild we were doing show and tell. Another quilter and myself realized we both had used the exact same pattern but our value placements were so different it really didn’t look anything alike.
The blue and green quilts which match my guest room exactly! I like this block!
I love seeing how the block comes together when put together in a quilt. I would probably use gold, brown, and green fabrics for my quilt.
This block has SO many possibilities. I think I’d use it for a Christmas quilt–red, green, white, maybe gold.
Wow–what a versatile block! I work mostly with repros, so I could see using blues and cheddar.
I think it’d be a pretty Valentines quilt in red, pink and white!
Teal, lime, and Orchid scrappy on white.

I would use blue and gray and purple! Using different hues of each color changes the way it looks and that is what makes them all unique.
Cool block! I would go for pinks and purples, myself.
This is a block I think I could do. I would try making it in reds and greens.
I love your first version- the red, green and blue. Wondering how it would look in all shades of grey…
allisonpogany at gmail.com
I would go with shades of red, pink and purple for the hearts and blues and greens and white for the other colors.
I like black, white, gray with an accent color… this block has lots of possibilities…
Congrats on your block, Kate! I think I’d use Christmas red and green color way. Am overdosing on hallmark movies, so I’m in the jingle bell mood. I love how uber difficult it looks all put together. Very impressive! Congrats!!
Your block is so pretty and I am a big fan of hearts. I gave my red and white quilt to my daughter so I would make it in red and white using different shade so red that work well together
interesting block
I think I would do a blue and purple combo with some white in it.
I receive your newsletter, and follow on facebook.
How about using red/green/white for a quilt?
I would make red white blue (Patriotic), or definitely the two-color ( like your black and red) purple and aqua.
