The second Patchwork of the Crosses block is finished and I’m thrilled with it. I love playing with the various layouts and fabrics for these blocks. I think I could be happy making these blocks and variations of them forever!
This is the back of the block — they press perfectly every time. The fabrics for the third block are cut out and all that’s left is to pick out the layout for that block. Laying the pieces out for each block is almost as much fun as stitching them — seeing how the effect changes totally depending on the placement of the different fabrics and the various layouts is like playing with a kaleidoscope.
Smudge in one of his usual positions when I’m stitching at night. He drapes himself over my legs and rests his head on the arm of the sofa.

I love this block, Cathi! Thanks for showing us the back. Can you remind me what this collection is called? I’ve been following Inklingo since the beginning, but never bought a collection. I think I might have to give in this time!
