Happy Valentine's Day


Several traditional applique patterns contain hearts. Below are a few reproductions.
The first: by Karla Menaugh
Feathered Heart

Below: Barbara Brackman
Wreath of Hearts

Below: Another of Karla's
Heart to Heart
And here are some pieced heart designs---mostly  from the 1930s and '40s. I typed the words "Heart" & "Valentine" in my BlockBase program and these four were among those that came up.
