Heart Houndstooth Mini


Do you remember when I shared BasicGrey's new line, Kissing Booth?  This is my first tutorial using Kissing Booth fabrics and it is based on one of my favorite designs in the line, the heart within the houndstooth.


I decided to design two paper pieced blocks in order to piece the pattern seen on the Kissing Booth fabrics.  It's a fairly easy design to paper piece because you don't have to match seams and the pieces are not too tiny.  If you are a beginner, go ahead and give it a shot.


I practiced my free motion quilting again!

If you would like to check out the tutorial, it's on the BasicGrey blog today.  Enjoy!

  5. Pretty hearty houndstooth! I love the free-motion in there!

    Still not sold on the paper-piecing though... I've tried it a few times now and I get frustrated every time. My heart's not into it or something...
