I settled on a design for my arrow blocks...
It screams "Valentine's Day!" a bit more than my original vision for these arrows, but we can enjoy it for a few more days!
I did some simple outline quilting around the arrows and heart. I thought about adding more straight line quilting to the background, but after trying out a few lines I decided it was too busy. If you look closely you can still see the little holes from the quilting I ripped out. I tried steaming them with the iron and it helped, but the holes are still visible. Any suggestions on how to get rid of them??
The arrows and the heart are all foundation pieced. I drew the arrow in EQ7, and I'm sharing the pattern with you! You can download the pattern here. The finished size of the block is 8" wide x 5" high. Make sure when you print the PDF that you have Page Scaling set to None. If you use the pattern, I'd love to see it!
Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I love this because my sorority's symbol is an arrow and I am going to try to make a quilt for a fundraiser this spring. I will keep you posted. :)
