Cross My Heart Quilt-Along (2023)

Choose you favorite red and white prints for a Valentine's Day quilt. This quilt can easily be adopted for a baby quilt, a wedding quilt, or another holiday, too.

• This quilt is featured in the February 2023 issue of American Patchwork & Quilting, on newsstands now. (You can buy the magazine online here.)
• Purchase the individual quilt pattern as a PDF download or as a printed pattern to be shipped to you.
• Buy a digital issue of the February 2023 issue of American Patchwork & Quilting on Zinio.com (for our international friends).

We made an error in the number of 1.5" squares needed in the optional size chart for the table runner, small throw, and queen bed. This error also affected the yardage needed for the white print in the throw-size quilt. Please download the corrected Optional Size Chart, below, and add it to your records.

Also, under Assemble Pieced Sashing Strips, Step 3, the pieced strip should be 47.5", not 471.5" as stated.

Get the size chart correction here.

The pattern includes directions to make this quilt in five sizes.

• 22.5x28.5 (table topper)
• 20.5x44.5 (table runner)
• 52.5" square (wall quilt or baby quilt, pictured)
• 68.5" square (small throw)
• 92.5x100.5" (queen bed)

The featured quilt background fabric is from the Bee Cross Stitch collection by Lori Holt for Riley Blake Designs. Assorted red fabrics are from the designer's stash.

The quilt-along runs from January 2-February 12. While there is a recommended sewing schedule (see below), you can also sew at your own pace!

We have a private Facebook group for our quilt-along here. We'll post weekly tips and share fun extras in the Facebook group. You'll also be able to post questions, pictures of your progress, and more!
