Exploding Heart Quilt Class
Celebrate Canada in a bold, modern way with the Exploding Heart of Canada quilt! Inspired by the Mini Exploding Heart pattern by Slice of Pi Quilts, this striking wall hanging features a dynamic heart design that radiates outward, perfectly suited to a classic red and white palette on a dramatic black background reminiscent of the Maple Leaf.
This class is ideal for advanced beginners looking to build confidence with half-square triangles (HSTs) and quarter-square triangles (QSTs). You’ll learn precision cutting, trimming techniques, and how to bring together a visually impactful quilt with clean, crisp points.
Prefer something softer? This design can also be adapted into a baby quilt using your own colour palette.
Finished Size: 36” x 36” (without borders)
