Valentine Hearts Quilt Pattern For Minky Fabric

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, we can’t think of a better way to celebrate than by creating a quilt or two for your loved ones!

Designed by Shannon Fabrics Brand Ambassador Pat Wodskow, our free Valentine Hearts quilt pattern is one of the most-popular patterns on our site. It’s simple enough to tackle in a day or two, but also has super cute heart-shaped appliques to give it added dimension and a bit of extra style. Not only is it eye-catching, but the quilt is irresistibly soft and requires no break-in period. 



To keep construction simple, this pattern is designed to be created with Kozy Cuddle® Solids from Shannon Fabrics. We suggest a mix of red, white, pink and black strips to fit the Valentine’s Day theme (feel free to go crazy with the accent fabrics for the hearts), but the pattern can be customized with different colors to complement any decor or color palette.
