August 2023 - Modern Crosses

Marion gave us a demonstration of the Modern (Eccentric) Crosses pattern from the Modern Quilt group. Click here for link to pattern. Although we hand sewed the class examples, this technique would be a lot quicker by machine. It was a fun block to do and would make an interesting quilt as you can alter the size of the block easily, see here. It is also a useful pattern for using up some scraps. This link is similar, but uses straight cuts.

Samples made in class

As well as this activity we had some Show and Tell to look at.
