Though I'm glad this isn't a normal Block of the Month or Week. Getting 2 blocks a week is almost not enough, I want MORE.
This block (6") designed by Melissa Corry, used the technique of sewing corner squares onto rectangles. This design could be worked with flying geese for the top of the hears and half square triangles for the body but the corner squares allow for fewer seams and better view of prints used for the hearts.
With 36 corner squares in this block, my Frixion pen got a lot of use.
I prefer to draw lines on my squares rather than using tape on the sewing machine bed or any other tool because it keeps my eyes on the fabric. I do change out my 1/4" presser foot for a normal open foot to get better visualization.
Oh...and these six-inchers are what I worked on after finishing Block #2:
