How to make a Four X block

Four X star quilt block video tutorial

I love this very easy quick and large star block.

Have a look at the end of the block how to use this block.

Cutting directions

  • 4 squares, 2 7⁄8“ x 2 7⁄8” in the background fabric
  • 4 squares, 2 7⁄8“ x 2 7⁄8“ in the red crosses fabric
  • squares, 2 7⁄8“ x 2 7⁄8“ in the strawberry fabric
  • 4 squares, 3 1⁄2” x 3 1⁄2” in the red crosses fabric
  • 4 squares, 3 1⁄2” x 3 1⁄2” in the background fabric

Use strong contrast between fabrics for best results.

Would you like to use this block in a quilt?

Thus block is part of My lucky stars quilt.

  • Size: 66″ x 66″
  • Quilt technique: traditional piecing or foundation paper piecing
  • Skill level: Confident beginner.
  • Fabric collection: I made the quilt on the cover from my old stash but I designed with Moda Farm Fresh collection in mind and the main diagrams use that fabric collection. This collection has very suitable black and white fabrics, even acqua that will make a beautiful quilt.

  1. On your video, you say to trim the HSTs to 3 1/2″. I think you mean 2 7/8″, because that fits with the others, and it’s actually what you show in the video itself. I always enjoy your videos with the different blocks, and usually learn a new way of doing a block.
