Then I printed the pattern (Can be found here)
So after I printed the pattern I changed my stitch length to 1.8, this tight stitching helps perforate the paper more which makes it easier to rip off after
I started by putting two fabrics, good sides together
Then putting the paper back side to the back side of the fabric
Then I held it up to the window to allow myself at least 1/4 inch seal between the shapes 1 & 2
Then I sewed along the line that boarders shape 1 & 2
Like so
Then I folded back the paper along that stitch line
Like so
and trimmed it to 1/4 inch seam
Open up the paper again
Set your seam and then press open
And this is what you will get
Then grab your fabric for the 3rd piece
Put good sides of fabric together
Hold up to the light
allow for at least 1/4 inch seam allowance
and sew down line number 3
Trim and repeat...
NOTE: you don't need to trim down your scraps before you sew them, because you constantly trim your seam to 1/4 inch it automatically cuts off the long scrappy ends of your fabric you don't need.
Once you are all done you will end up with a finished heart.

I stitched around the edge of my heart and then blanket stitched the heart onto a block. I probably didn't need to stitch around the heart but I wanted to have a guide line to cut. How cute would a quilt done with these be? So fun!!
I hope you enjoyed this little project! I can't wait to do more paper piecing!!
