This block may be the last of the blocks I do with the fabrics I’ve picked out and printed so far. I’m really happy with them, but I’m not getting the same special effects that Lucy Boston did. Since getting the new Patchwork of the Crosses book by Linda Franz, I’ve been able to study the incredible photos of the original quilt and it’s been a real education! One has to look very hard to see the elongated hexagons in most of the original blocks. I’d like to duplicate that as much as I can, which will mean more stripes, more border prints and some paisleys.
The back:
I’m undecided at the moment about whether I’ll make these 16 blocks into a small quilt or if I’ll keep going and make it slightly larger for a lap quilt. Then I will need to start finding the right prints and paisleys to be able to make the blocks I’m envisioning.
I’m going to try to get a photo of all 16 blocks together today or this weekend.

Another new favorite Cathi, the effects you are getting from the striped fabrics is just so interesting to look at. I'm really looking forward to seeing them all side by side.Crispy

I did notice that the original quilt used lots of stripes, etc. in getting the effect that was accomplished. I think it makes spectacular blocks. Good luck on your search for fabric. That is bound to be fun.
