Then place the top two pretty sides together and pin down the side. Do the same to the bottom two squares. Sew down the seams using the pressure foot as your guide.

Press the seams flat to one side. For quilting and crafts pressing the seams to one side usually means pressing the seams to the darker fabric.

Place the square diagonally and pin the heart pattern trying to make sure that you have equal parts of all four prints within the heart pattern. You can make your own heart pattern or use our free heart pattern. After that cut out the heart.

Next pin a piece of ribbon for your handle as shown in the photo above. If you are using these hearts as bowl fillers do not add the ribbon as a hanger.

4-Patch Hanging Valentine Heart – Step 8

Using the four patch heart as a pattern cut out another heart for the back. Pin the two heart pieces pretty side together making sure that the ribbon is inside the heart. Leave a 3″ opening on one side of the heart. You will not sew there. That will be your opening for turning and stuffing. Sew around the heart once again using the pressure foot as your guide. Remember not to sew at the opening. Trim seams if necessary.
