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:

My book Turnabout Patchwork
“Turnabout Patchwork. Simple quilts with a twist” is all about playing with blocks – making a block, slicing it up, and turning or repositioning the pieces to make a completely different block (sometimes two smaller blocks) to yield endless quilt tops.See all the quilts in the book in a real life project
