March Snow Happy Heart Block

Yesterday was 5th March and therefore the release date for the next Snow Happy Heart Pattern designed by Anne Sutton of Bunny Hill Designs.  I have been looking forward to the next pattern as I am so enjoying creating quilt blocks around these cute little heart designs.

I printed off the pattern from Anne's website and then set about making my March block based around that design.


 I followed the pattern exactly to make the applique to decorate the heart.

Then, as I have done in the previous blocks, I appliqued the decorated heart to some cream background fabric.

This month, the pattern has a snowman and a cute little lamb in it, which is just perfect for Spring. 



I wanted to reflect this in the block I made so, as well as adding some borders to the heart background, I also added a sprinkle of Spring flowers in the border.


I also embroidered a few flowers on the background of the appliqued section of the block as well as the name of the month which, I had also done on the previous blocks.  

I am really pleased with my March block and, I couldn't resist adding it to the two previous blocks. Here are the first three blocks which, will make up the first row of my quilt.

    I love the snowman and the sheep, and those sweet spring flowers I love the use of the puffs for the flower centres. Ali x

      Hello Ali! Thank you! I was pleased with the 'puffs' I thought they made the flowers look a bit like daffodils or narcissus... but perhaps that was just me! Have a lovely weekend! :) x

    Your quilt is going to be so cute - I much prefer what you're doing to making just ornaments.

      Hello Katrin! Thank you! I have been trying to keep the blocks balanced as I add them... it is quite difficult to do when you don't know what the whole quilt will look like! :) x
