To make the Digital Hearts quilt is easy.  Out of assorted red fabrics cut 70 x 5" squares or use charm packs.  For the background cut 170 x 5" squares of assorted light to medium fabrics.  

Lay the red squares out in a heart shape as in my quilt.  Then lay the assorted background colours.  When you are satisfied with how it looks, take a photo for reference.  I used a 1/4" seam throughout and  I assembled the whole quilt in blocks of 9 ensuring the seams were pressed so I could butt them.  

Once the top is together, layer with batting and backing.  Either tack together  or use safety pins and quilt as desired. 

For the binding I made it using the scraps.

Good luck.
