DIRECTIONS

Join blue and white print A pieces checkerboard fashion as shown.
Sew red B pieces to top and left side of checkerboard to complete heart. Using your favorite method, appliqué heart to the 7" muslin square. Straight edges belong about 3/4" from bottom and right edge. Appliqué blue stars, being very careful when clipping seams and trimming points. One star goes above the heart and the other stars belong on the 2 3/4" squares. (HINT: Lightly press a diagonal line through square. Line up the star point and the center of the bottom of the star on this folded line.)
Staying 1/4" away from the edge of the square, appliqué stars. Join red, blue and white print strips with 1/4" seams to make a 2 3/4" x 28" strip. Cut this strip into four 7" pieces. Each piece will now be 2 3/4" x 7".
Sew 2 of the 7" strips to the top and bottom of the heart block.
Sew 2 star blocks on the ends of each remaining 7" strip.
Sew these strips to sides of heart block.
Lightly press completed block and trim any uneven edges.
Sew muslin border strips around all sides of the block, mitering corners. Press.
