Star and cross – Morocco series – block 1 – video tutorialmo

Today I’m starting a new series of blocks that will capture my experience while living in Morocco.

My plan is to replicate as many patterns as I can.  Some are very  complex so I may resort to using English Paper Piecing.

Well, that’s the plan. Let’s see if I can stick to it!

Star and Cross is a pattern you can see all around Morocco.  This is how I made it:

  1. I love the simplicity of this block! It looks great together and with only 3 colors. It is a definite must to make. Thanks Teresa!

  3. Hi Theresa. This has to be one of my favorite videos. I made something very similar a couple of years ago, but your sewing/chain piecing technique is wonderfully clear and easier. Anxious to try it again. Thanks so much for sharing all you do.
