Meet Block #4 in Jimmy Beans' Mystery Sew Red Sew-A-Long for women's heart health awareness.

For those of you who love needle-turn hand applique... Enjoy! For the rest of you... don't run away. Consider raw-edge fusible applique as an option. :-)

This block measures 6" x 16" finished size. Click over to the Jimmy Beans Wool blog site at http://jimmybeanswool.blogspot.com/2013/12/4th-of-mystery-sew-red-sew-long-from.html for more information, directions, and fabric requirements. The downloadable template is at  http://www.jimmybeanswool.com/details/images/sewRedSAL/HeartBlockTemplate.pdf. Make sure to print the templates at actual size... not the size to fit the page on your printer settings. You will need to print the left side of the design and then move over and print the right side of the design for a complete template. :-) (If you have trouble obtaining the PDF file, consider using a different browser such as Firefox, Chrome, Explorer, etc...)

For tips on making "Perfect Circles" scroll down to my Nov. 11 entry called "Tree of Love" which includes a brief tutorial I made for a recent Quiltmakers' Magazine blog tour.

Thank you to the wonderful staff at Jimmy Beans Wool for their support of women's heart health. Make sure you enjoy all of the fabulous projects featured in the Sew Red book.

Happy Quilting!
