Cross and crown quilt block video tutorial

Cross and crown is a block you put together with sashing.

I’ve seen the block made in one single colour and without the bottom corner in a different colour but I decided to go for the variation with the most features so to speak.

So let’s make a cross and crown quilt block.

Some other names for the block: Crossroads, Duck Paddle, Flying Darts, Goose Tracks.

The block is also similar to a Lily block:

So what’s an on point quilt?

An on-point quilt is assembled in diagonal rows, providing a unique visual appeal compared to traditional layouts.

Each diagonal row begins and ends with either a corner setting triangle or a side setting triangle, which helps maintain the quilt’s overall structure and aesthetics.

Corner setting triangles are placed at the corners of the quilt, while side setting triangles are used along the edges, contributing to a balanced and visually interesting design.

For those looking to delve deeper into this aspect of quilting, Julie Baird of Generations Quilt Patterns offers an in-depth explanation on setting triangles for an on-point quilt. Her insights not only clarify the purpose of these triangles but also provide practical tips and techniques that can enhance your quilting experience.

By understanding how to effectively incorporate setting triangles, quilters can explore various patterns and styles, ultimately expanding their creative repertoire.
