It Can Be Used In Many Types of Projects!

This pretty block can be used in so many ways. Finish one of the oversized 15″ blocks for a table or wall quilt, string three together for a runner or make several for a larger project.

It’s also a great project for scraps. Choose a combination of 5 1/2″ and 4 1/2″ squares in whatever colors you prefer.

Watch as Lori Holt demonstrates how to make the Criss-Cross Star block in the following video. Her Seams So Easy Seam Guide eases construction. You can get that here. Be sure to choose a color that will show up well against your machine.

Other seam guides will also work. You’ll find ideas here.

One of the great benefits of this block is that the star floats in the block. That means you can’t lose points when sewing blocks together. Nice!

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!




PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article). That way you can contact Support for that source if you have downloading problems or other issues. Thank you!
