Nine Patch Block – Hearts in bloom QAL

Welcome to Week 4 of the Hearts in Bloom Quilt Along! 💖

We’ve made it to the final block—and we’re wrapping things up with a true classic: the Nine Patch. Simple, balanced, and endlessly versatile, this block ties all the elements of the Hearts in Bloom quilt together beautifully.

The Nine Patch has been a quilting favourite for generations, and for good reason. It’s quick to sew, perfect for showing off your favourite fabrics, and adds a lovely sense of order to the mix of hearts and stars we’ve already created.

Whether you stick with coordinated colours or go completely scrappy, this block will bring harmony to your quilt design. It’s the perfect way to finish our series of blocks on a high note.

Once your Nine Patch is done, you’ll have all the building blocks ready to assemble your Hearts in Bloom quilt top! 🌸✨
I can’t wait to see your finished blocks come together—don’t forget to share your progress as we head toward the final reveal next week!

Cutting directions are available on the pattern.
