The Modern Quilt Block Series is off to a great start! Thank you for your enthusiasm. This week we are sewing an easy to sew block called Crosswalk. My motto: Simple quilts are beautiful when sewn with love!

Crosswalk

Modern fabrics call for a modern approach to quilt designs. Since this block has minimal fabrics, it is quick to cut and quick to piece. Using a stripe fabric as I have in my sample is a fun way to bring the stripe motif full circle, but it would also be fun to fussy cut.

These blocks are building blocks to a mix of blocks that will be combined in upcoming layout design ideas too! I’m excited to share what can happen with a couple of blocks alternated in a quilt top.

Turning these blocks you can create a variety of quilts, and the stripes can be all the same or a scrappy mix of fun fabrics. The same is true of the background fabric – I would love to mix up the background in a full quilt to add interest!

This week the block is free, next week it will be available for purchase in my shop. 

Pin now, sew later

Save to your favorite quilting boards for inspiration when you need it!
