If you are like me you tend to end up with extra layer cake, charm square and jelly roll pieces. What’s a girl to do with all those? I throw mine in a box. I have a box for layer cake and charm squares and one for jellyroll pieces. When they get full I make a quilt of course. These x and + blocks help me make room in my boxes for more happy pieces.
My Three Red Hot Kisses quilt is an example of this fun, scrap busting block. I didn’t pay as much attention to value in this one. Because of that some of my x’s and +’s get lost. This next go around I’m being a little more intentional. Using medium to dark fabrics for my x’s and +’s and light low volume prints for the background. Check out this post to learn more about how value works.
Learn how to make your own, with my YouTube video. New link, I don’t know what I did that made the formatting of my original video small. Gotta love technology. I’m sure it was user error but still. I did some yoga and then got busy fixing it. Here is the result. Hope you like it.
