The Have a Heart quilt pattern by J. Michelle Watts is a simple and creative design that beautifully showcases a heart motif using simple piecing techniques. This pattern is jelly roll friendly, meaning it’s designed to work with precut 2½″ strips of fabric—perfect for using up stash or ready-made bundles without extensive cutting. It includes instructions for both a throw-size quilt and a smaller wall-hanging or baby quilt, giving makers flexibility in their finished project size.
What makes the Have a Heart quilt pattern especially appealing is how it balances bold visual impact with approachable construction. The single center heart — composed of horizontal strips or blocks of color — pops against a neutral background, and you can customize it by choosing colorways that reflect any style. Whether you lean toward vibrant reds and pinks for a classic look or explore unexpected palettes, this digital quilt pattern really invites your creativity.
Ideal for intermediate beginner quilters who are comfortable following a PDF pattern, this design offers both a rewarding sewing experience and a fun, modern, finished quilt. The heart theme makes it a perfect gift for anniversaries, Valentine’s Day, or just to spread a little love. Have a Heart quilt pattern is a delightful project for quilters looking to blend simplicity with a simple yet meaningful design.
