Heartbeat 20" x 21"

Heartbeat is a striking heart-themed quilt block that pulses with charm and precision. Finishing at 20" x 21", this paper-pieced design offers crisp lines and satisfying symmetry, allowing new paper piecers to build confidence while giving experienced quilters room to play with color and texture. Its bold, graphic shape evokes the rhythm of a heartbeat—an apt motif for its role in the larger quilt design titled Circadian Rhythm, which is a visual meditation on the human and oceanic system that is a shared pulse between human life and the ocean's tide.  It reveals a profound connection between our biology and the planet’s rhythms, serving as a reminder that we are not separate from the world around us, but we are deeply woven into its cadence.  Whether stitched in vibrant solids or subtle gradients, Heartbeat brings warmth and movement to any quilt, anchoring the design with emotional resonance and visual impact.
