Today is my day for the Island Batik Log Cabin Blog Hop!!!
I was given this fabulous line of fabric from Island Batik, called Love & Peace by Kathy Engle for Lizard Creek Quilting (Terri Vanden Bosch). This line of fabric is shipping to shops this month!!! The pictures can’t even relay how bright and vibrant this line of fabric is!! I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it!!
Fortunately, I was going on a quilt retreat with friends in January, so this made for the perfect project!!
Since my date to post fell on Valentine’s Day, I felt it was a sign to make some kind of heart block. I played around with EQ8 and came up with this fun block!!
My Oliso iron came in handy with this, along with thread from Aurifil Threads and my Schmetz needles worked great for this project!! I used Hobbs Black batting for this and it was amazing!!
And here is the finished quilt!! I love how the black background fabric makes this fabric line just pop!! And I love making a scrappy binding!!
Since I loved this quilt so much, I wrote a pattern!!! It is a quick and easy quilt to put together!! It can definitely be strip set friendly (2 1/2″ strips). The pattern is available as a printed pattern and also a pdf download through my shop page. The quilt measures 65″ x 65″, so it would make a great size throw quilt, or even a crib/floor baby quilt!!
I had to do a photo shoot and Rosie needed to help!! I hope you will enjoy the following pics.

I also love this line of fabric…and the block you made is perfect with this fabric. Log cabin blocks is on my 2024 “ to learn” list. So I cannot wait to try your pattern with this line of fabric ❣️
I love this so much, Jane! Perfect for Valentine’s Day.
Pretty quilt that could be used so many different ways.
Absolutely gorgeous quilt & Happy Valentine’s Day!
Beautiful quilt and batik collection Jane!
A great way to complete the log cabin challenge. I agree the black background makes the design. Thanks for sharing.
Love the colors and a great color combination for a Valentine quilt. Happy Valentine’s Day! Thank you Jane and Island Batik!
Your Hearts are beautiful. 😍 happy Valentine’s Day❣️❣️
I love the colors in this bundle!!
Oh my gosh! I love the hearts and the batiks look soo yummy! Well done!
The blue accents are really pretty along with the other beautiful colors–great quilt!
Love Love Love your design! So appropriate for a Valentines Day reveal too 💕 Happy Valentines Day to you!
Love the Island Batiks saturation of colors. Your use of them is scrumptious!
Jane, I love your quilt! The colors are fabulous and the black background really makes them pop! And I always love hearts. What a perfect choice for posting today. Thank you so much for making the pattern available to us!
I think your design is a different, an inventive twist on lots of other “heart” projects I have seen in the last week. Most of those are re-circulated designs I have seen over and over. This one is different! I like it, and I especially like the black background, which sets off the bright colors of the heart shape. Well done!
A cute log cabin quilt! As you stated, it would work well for a baby. Show them love. The colors do pop with the black background.
Love the fabric and your project posting. Scrappy hearts make me happy.
Wow great job…and the colors you got are breathtaking…Ty for sharing your talents…
I love that you made hearts since your day fell on Valentine’s day! Such a great block, and those colors are amazing against the black!
Beautiful quilt. The fabrics just pop with the black background.
What a fun take on the log cabin block!
Your quilt is sooo cute! I really love it!
Your quilt is beautiful! I am in love with the colorful batiks and the dramatic contrast to the black background.
Beautiful quilt! The black background is perfect for the bright batiks.
That is such an adorable quilt and just in time for Valentine’s Day!
Such a vibrant quilt! So creative to make the log cabin into a heart. And I too love the look of these fabrics. Thanks for the chance at a giveaway!
I like the scrappy heart log cabin quilt for Valentine’s Day. Great job.
I love the heart log cabins!!! Love these colors!!! Bright and cheerful!!
I am in love with your quilt! Perfect name for it! Beautiful fabric line and lovely quilting! Log cabin has always been my favorite block, so this hop has been so much fun!! Thank you and have a great week!
One of the cleverest heart patterns I’ve seen. A perfect way to use these pretty batiks.
I love your quilt! The hearts are such a great touch to the log cabin design and the fabrics are great. Thanks for sharing.

I love your version of the log cabin quilt! I am amazed at the creativity of all who participate. It would make a great baby quilt.
The heart log cabin pattern is perfect for these bright cheery fabrics!
You designed such a cute quilt. As soon as I saw it, I thought it would make a great baby quilt, and one that would be enjoyed right through childhood, which is the kind I like to make. (Especially since sometimes I don’t finish them right away–babies may be toddlers before they get their quilts 😹)
Beautiful colors!
What a beautiful and creative spin on a log cabin block! This is delightful! I love the name of the quilt too. Thank you for sharing this. Love and peace to you!
Absolutely love the log cabin hearts!
I love your Hearts Galore quilt and yes the hearts really pop with the black background
This is a great variation of the Log Cabin Block. I would love to make this quilt.
Love your take on the log cabin! I want to use your pattern for a baby quilt. Thanks, Jane! 🥰
Awww…I bet it will make an adorable baby quilt!!
Such a cute cute pattern and I always appreciate seeing sparkling batiks set into dark background fabric!
Love your quilt!! It’s an fresh approach to the usual heart designs!
