X and Plus Block
Read Amy''s original tutorial for a 7 1/2" block on Badskirt
aka the Setsuko Inagawa Quilt
Here are the details for a 12" finished (12 1/2" unfinished) block illustrated by Brenda Ratliff aka justabitfrayed of Pink Castle Fabrics
For each block cut:
Four 5.5" squares
Eight 3.5" squares
Four 2.5" x 3.5" rectangles
Two 2.5" squares
One 2.5" x 6.5" rectangle
Here are some tips from Michelle for making this block.
See some great examples and read how this trend started in 2011 and again in 2013
