# Chocolate Hearts Quilt Block

The pattern is available for free to subscribers at the bottom of the page. If you’d rather just print the page, click the green *Print* button under the tutorial. If that doesn’t work, try Ctrl + P (or Flower + P) to bring up the printer dialog box.





Are you singing[ My Heart Must Go On? ](https://youtu.be/zmbw8OycJrE)That’s because this heart is tessellated! Make one block or 20, they will all fit together and make a great design.

## Fabric Requirements for the Chocolate Hearts Quilt Block Pattern

- (5) 3-1/2″ × 6-1/2″ Background rectangles
- (2) 3-1/2″ Background squares.
- (10) 4″ Background squares
- (1) 3-1/2″ × 6-1/2″ Chocolate rectangle
- (2) 3-1/2″ Chocolate squares.
- (10) 4″ Chocolate squares

You will also find a 3-1/2″ Square Ruler very helpful. I am a big fan of the [Quilt-in-a-Day Fussy Cut Ruler Set](https://www.amazon.com/shop/scrapdash/list/2JWHKG761189Z?ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d) because it has all the sizes you will need.

## **Making the 20 Half Square Triangle Quilt Blocks (HSTs)** 

If you are familiar with the [Magic Eight method of making Half-Square-Triangle blocks](https://scrapdash.com/princess-charlotte-mystery-quilt-magic/), you can use that here to make the (20) HSTs that you will need.

If not, the Traditional Method of making Half Square Triangle Blocks (HSTs) is to place a 3-7/8″ × 3-7/8″ dark square right sides together with a 3-7/8″ × 3-7/8″ light square. Draw a diagonal line on the back of one square. Sew 1/4″ on both sides of the line. Cut on the line and press to the dark.   
  
You will have made two blocks that measure exactly 3-1/2″ × 3-1/2″ square. My personal preference is to cut the original squares slightly too large (4″) and square up the HST to 3-1/2″ later on.

## Creating the Block

### Assemble:

- (5) 3-1/2″ × 6-1/2″ Background rectangles and (2) 3-1/2″ Background squares.
- (1) 3-1/2″ × 6-1/2″ Chocolate rectangle and (2) 3-1/2″ Chocolate squares.
- (20) HSTs

Piece (8) Flying Geese groups, pressing as directed by the arrow, shown below.

Sew these geese and the other units into columns, pressing as directed by the arrows. Because of the way you pressed your blocks, the column seams will nestle in opposite directions at the intersection, keeping the block flat.

Press one final time and you are done! Here is my table runner on a Valentine’s Day table. I made three blocks and surrounded them with a 4″ border.
