“Love is the Best Medicine” Free Quilt Block Pattern

My Strength in Every Stitch Quilt Along quilt block is called Love is the Best Medicine and comes in both a 6 inch quilt free block pattern and a 12 inch quilt block pattern.
I tried the little 6″ block and plan on turning it into a first aid zipper bag – stay tuned for that tutorial.
It is part of the Riley Blake Sew Along featuring the Hush Hush volume 5 fabrics and Confetti Cottons.
