Criss Cross Block of the Month #6 | Quilt Sew-Along (2021)

Debbie Shore has created a chequered quilt block to sew. Use for homeware projects!

Welcome to your June Block of the Month project! This quilt block design is named Criss Cross. Although we're only halfway through the year, I'm seeing little Christmas presents in the design… so why not start on a Christmas table runner using festive cotton fabrics? This would make a fabulous border, or a patchwork piece straight down the centre.

I have used 19¾ x 21½in (50 x 55cm) fat quarters to cut my strips; if your fabric is wider, then please cut your fabric to these measurements first.

Unfinished block size: 18½ x 8in (47 x 20.25cm)
