This block ...... I think is also called the "White Cross" and it came from the Electric Quilt library. The only problem with the pattern coming from this source is, they don't tell you the steps on how to put it together.
Now ....... to be fair ........ the swap mom did send out directions on how to put this puppy together. Did I read it??? NO!!! I have a hard time deciphering directions without pictures!!! Sssssoooooo ........ I earned (and rightly so!!!) all my frustration.
One thing I can say for myself is ......... I don't give up. I will try until I get it done and quilt blocks are included in this.
This version of the "White Cross" actually went together pretty easily. I had already wasted my frustrations on the advanced version ...... so this one was a piece of cake. The fabrics are from my scrap stash - I felt like going the purple direction. Hope the recipient is feeling the same way. Reminded me of spring - something I am not personally experiencing at this time in this part of the country!!!
And of course, I did one for me in the fabrics I have chosen as my theme. I intend to make a sampler quilt top for myself out of these blocks. I don't know what I will do with the swap blocks I receive - might end up being a scrap sampler. I'll have to wait and see what I end up with.
Keep Quilting
