I finished my second x & + quilt a few months back, and then waited awhile to get photos (and then to post about it. Typical).
It really is one of my favorite blocks to sew, and it's a great scrappy project. To be honest, I think I started a new batch of xplus blocks as soon as the first quilt was finished (blog post here with more info!).
I made the second version a little larger than the first (blocks finish at 7", again using the badskirt tutorial), finishing at 56" x 63".
So far, I have held out on starting a third version, but I'm not sure that will continue.
A scrappy project like this is nostalgic. Each block reminds me of other patchwork.
Maybe, it's the mix tape of quilts? Yeah.
The back is scrappy greens, with an orange-y scrappy binding. Totally summery.
Lovely! I love this block too and my x & + quilt is still a favorite!
ReplyDeleteOh, the back is so pretty. I love greens! Of course, the front rocks too.
