Stitch up a sweet, cozy accent piece with the Sweetheart Pillow Pattern by Chrissy Lux of Sew Lux Fabric. Featuring classic pieced hearts, hug "X"s, and kiss "O"s arranged across a clean lumbar layout, this charming modern patchwork design adds loving warmth to sofas, entryway benches, and beds year-round.
Designed for fast and satisfying piecing, this pattern is completely pre-cut and scrap friendly—requiring just ten 5" charm squares (or one 5" charm pack) to construct the block motifs. With clear, step-by-step instructions and simple conventional piecing, it is the perfect weekend sewing project for quilters of all skill levels.
