Wonky Heart Table Topper Tutorial

Have you seen the new Wonky Heart die from AccuQuilt? It makes a finished 6″ block and there are all kinds of creative things you can make with it. I decided to make a quick and easy table topper that is perfect for the autumn weather we are starting to get. The first time I shared a post about this die was using some fun orange batik wonky hearts, still need to finish that!

I shared this Wonky Heart table topper on AccuQuilt’s blog a couple months ago but thought I would post the Wonky Heart Table Topper tutorial here in case you missed it. It is even on sale right now!

I used a combination of batiks that I received from Island Batik as an ambassador, a Bella solid and a cream cotton fabric that had been in my stash for quite some time. I think this is just about the last of it and it was great for a background fabric.

Materials Needed:

½ yard cream fabric
½ yard brown multi-print batik (this includes the binding)
1 Fat Quarter brown batik
⅔ yard backing and batting

Sew with a ¼″ seam allowance

Cut 2 cream – 10″ squares
Cut 2 brown multi-print fabric – 10″ squares

Lay all 4 fabrics on the Wonky Heart die and cut out. Remove the center 3 sections as shown in the photo – the will be your wonky heart. There are great diagrams on the Wonky Heart packaging to help you also.

Start with the top left corner and sew the sections together. You will join the center two first.Next join the center sections and finally the bottom right sections.Make 2 of the blocks with the cream wonky heart and 2 with the brown multi-print wonky heart.You will be surprised at how easy it is to make this block.
Borders for the blocks:

Using the #8 GO! Rectangle-2″ x 3 ½″ (1 ½″ x 3″ Finished)

cut 16 brown rectangles, 8 multi-print rectangles and 8 cream rectangles.

Using the #2 GO! Square-2″ (1 ½″ Finished) die

cut 8 brown squares, 4 brown multi-print squares and 4 cream squares.

Follow the diagrams below to layout the borders for the blocks – make 2 brown/multi-print.

Stitch the rows together, add your batting and quilt as desired. Cut your binding using the 2 ½″ strip cutter die.You now have a cute little Wonky Heart Autumn Table Topper for your table.
