My fingers were itching to applique. 

It won't be long 'till hearts will flutter for each other, again.

Do you ever get that itch to apply one pretty fabric atop another?

I created the heart template {not shown here} from an old box.

The red background squares are 10 1/2 inches.

 

I h a n d - a p p l i q u e d  the hearts utilizing the needle-turn applique method.

I decided to get ahead of the 'season' and create a few fun blocks.
