Crossroads Quilt Block with strips

Earlier this month, I explored methods of replacing rectangles with strips of fabric, making a quilt block a little more lively and interesting.

Yesterday, I decided to take a relatively simple block and replace some of its patches with strips of fabric.

In this week’s block, you’ll see how it worked.

It was much easier than I thought. I had given up creating the pattern in my software – the math just wasn’t working out right.

But when I measured the rectangle I wanted to replace and just started cutting and sewing strips, somehow the math problems evaporated!

I like it when that happens.
