This heart quilt block pattern was inspired by a luxurious red satin heart-shaped candy box I received one Valentine's Day. The chocolates and the box are long gone, but the memory lives on in this versatile design.

Choose rich reds and roses for a sophisticated Valentine look. For fun, how about bright, funky geometrics? Soft, muted tones or romantic floral prints would also work well.
