Cross My Heart Wall Hanging Quilt Pattern

Some quilts hold more than fabric and thread—they hold a story. Cross My Heart was originally made to honor my 20th wedding anniversary—a quiet reflection of a promise, a vow, and all the years stitched in between. Simple, strong geometry echoes the steadiness of love, while the soft contrast of cream and brown tones brings warmth and grace to the design.

The Cross My Heart Wall Hanging is a peaceful, meditative make—modern in its minimalism yet deeply nostalgic in spirit. It’s a versatile design that fits right into a cozy home—whether you hang it in your living room, entryway, or bedroom as a reminder of love and strength. I’ve been known to use it as a placemat for the dining table too!
