Block 37
on the Block-a-Day (BAD) project brings us to a quick and easy patchwork block –
the Patchsmith’s Hashtag Heart. It is a great
way to use up a left-over heart novelty charm square. Want to know how I did it? Okay then ........
4½” HASHTAG BLOCK
(4½” is the unfinished
size and equates to a 4” finished (sewn in) block)
Fabric Requirements/Cutting:
Three
1¼” x 3¾” BACKGROUND strips
Four 1”
x 3¾” HASHTAG strips
Four 5" x 1”
border strips
(All seam allowances are ¼”)
1. With right sides together stitch the
three BACKGROUND strips and two of the HASHTAG strips as shown to create
a 3¾” square. Press.

Alternate two HASHTAG strips with the three HEART strips |
2. Cross cut this square into three 1¼”
wide strips.

You should now have three 1¼" x 3¾" strips |
3. Stitch the three patched strips
together with the two remaining 1” x 3¾” HASHTAG strips to create a block
measuring 3¾” square. Press.

Just one more step to create the perfect #Heart Block |
4. Finally stitch 1” border strips all the
way around the block. Press and trim the block to measure 4½”.

Add a 1" border to the block and then trim to size. |
And
there you have it – the Patchsmith’s Hashtag block.
