X and Plus Block, So Many Options

I have had a love affair with this block for years. Looking at the piles of scraps that have been accumulating, it's high time I start doing something with them. This block has been around for many years. It can be scrappy or organized, you can have so much fun with it! They are like potato chips, bet you can't make just one!

We have the X and Plus Block Group formed on Facebook now and you can join in the fun. There will be directions for several different sizes and video tutorials to walk you through the construction of this block. The link for the Facebook site is X and Plus Block Group Come join the fun!

Here are some links you might enjoy. There are so many creative ways to make these blocks, get inspired here:

These are some of the blocks I have created so far, I tossed them together on Mosaic Maker to give you an idea of how a bunch of unrelated fabrics can work together with this block. For my blocks I am using a Kona White for the background but you can mix it up, using darks, lights, low volume, what ever you have. There are no rules. 

This year we are going to use up some scraps and make a bunch of blocks. At the end of the year we will see what we have and put some quilt tops together!
