It is Nationwide Quilting Month, and right now I am sharing some free tiny quilt block cross sew patterns! These are fairly small (most are lower than one inch!), so you’ll be able to sew them fairly fast. And they’re designed extra as two groupings: one with the sawtooth star, pinwheel, 8-point star, and vintage tile blocks, and the opposite with the bigger grouping of flying geese.
I’ve made precise quilts, felt quilt blocks, embroidered quilts, embroidery patterns OF quilts, but it surely was about time that I convey my love of quilts to cross sew.
After all, on the 12×12 blocks I added a few of my signature smiling faces, however these are finished solely with again sew and french knots. You’ll be able to add them for those who like or go away them off for those who want.
Due to the rely on these and to make them work out the patterns on a small scale, the person blocks do not match simply with the flying geese. There may be a technique to make the rows of flying geese right into a border for a grouping of the opposite blocks, however I have not finished that math!
However identical to with common quilting (and cross sew!), you’ll be able to transfer issues round, repeat components, and extra. For instance, you can select simply one of many small blocks and sew multiples of them, simply altering the colour preparations. That is additionally an effective way to get extra comfy swapping in colours on a cross sew sample!
I do assume these can be particularly cute stitched up as little cross stitched pins (clearly I’ve a love for small quilty pins!), however they might additionally simply be enjoyable to make teeny tiny designs on your mini gallery wall, or you can line them up and make a bookmark, or…I am positive you may discover candy methods to make use of them. I imply you may even mix them with different patterns all collectively!
Able to cross sew some tiny quilt blocks! I do know that I’m!
