The design I am sharing today, was one I recently found in an old file from EQ4. That was the first version of EQ I owned. Functionality (and fabric options) were much more limited in those days. But EasyDraw and many of the quilt layouts we enjoy today were available for designing in the early years of Electric Quilt.
I did a bit of research and I could not find the block in the EQ library or in any of the free projects on their website. So it is possibly an original design. Or it could be something inspired by a quilt in a magazine (as the design was created before Pinterest became our go to source for inspiration). I hope you enjoy. Pieced On Point Heart Block
The block is conducive to either rotary cutting or foundation piecing. So in addition to being fast to draft, it would also be easy to piece.
On the Block Worktable, create a new block with the style EasyDraw.
In the Precision Toolbar, set the block width and height at 6". Set the snaps every quarter inch (multiply the size of 6 times 4) -- so 24 x 24. Make sure to turn on Snap to Grid.
Select the Color tab and color the block.
I used an updated default fabric collection (a benefit of the EQ Members Club offered by Electric Quilt).
Here are the rotary cutting instructions for the pieced on point heart block. Notice that there are instructions for every patch. So no templates or manual calculations will be required.
Feel free to use these instructions if you would like to piece the heart block (6" finished size). Pieced On Point Heart Quilt
