“Hidden Hearts” – Free Block of the Month Quilt-Along – Month 6

October 8, 2025

Hi!

We’re at the start of October now, and for those of you who are following along, it’s time for your next block in our “Hidden Hearts” Block of the Month Quilt-Along.

This month’s is an easy one, which will give you an opportunity to catch up if you need to.

For those not yet started, our finished quilt looks like this –

And to recap:

There are 8 different pieced blocks, and we’ll put them all together in Month 9, which means that you’ll be able to finish your “Hidden Hearts” quilt in January.  It’s a Queen sized medallion style quilt, and it’s guaranteed to give you plenty of easy piecing practice.

If you’re just joining us now, scroll back through our previous posts on this blog, and you’ll find the first block starting in May.

I’ll post a new pattern here around the second week of every month, so make sure you pop your first name and email address in the boxes to the left hand side of this post, to make sure you hear when each new block has been released.

As always, change the colours to suit yourself, and do send this to other quilting friends to join in with us too – the more the merrier!

So let’s get started!

 

“Hidden Hearts” – Month 6

This month is an easy catch-up month, as you only need to make 12 Pinwheel blocks.

You Will Need:

This month, you will need your pink and light green fabrics.

 

Cut:

From your light green fabric, cut 24 squares measuring 3 7/8 x 3 7/8 inches.

From your pink fabric, cut 24 squares measuring 3 7/8 x 3 7/8 inches.

 

Piecing:

Pair up your squares – one pink with a light green square.

Use a pencil and rule a diagonal line on the wrong side of a square, as shown.

With right sides together, and the edges aligned, sew a ¼ inch EITHER side of that marked line.

(You can chain piece these to make it quicker.)

Cut on the line.

Open out and press.  You now have two half square triangles.

Lay out your block pieces, making sure your triangles are arranged correctly to make the pinwheel shape.

Join the squares together in pairs and press seams in opposite directions between rows.

Join your pairs together and press blocks well.

Put your 12 new blocks aside for Month 9.

And that’s it!  Easy Peasy.  Next Month, you will piece some Friendship Star blocks.

 

Enjoy your week!

Regards,
