Very few baby quilt blocks for baby girl but this one is very cute. The material is very nice easy to sew on. The blocks have a lot of detail so they do take some time to cross stitch. Use a bright pink to really make your cross stand out or go with something more muted and subtle if you prefer.

This 5 patch version is the one documented in jenny beyer s book the quilter s album of blocks borders to make matters even more complicated this design is also sometimes called goose tracks crossroads. There are several variations of a cross and crown quilt block. 5 x 5 grids. I wanted to be able to use the black and white prints i had on hand and i wanted to make them twin size so the blocks needed to be large enough to piece together quickly.

A square or rectangle is cut across and a strip inserted. Then the block is cut a second time roughly perpendicular to the first cut and a second strip sewn in. At its most basic a wonky cross block aka liberated cross or wonky plus sign is a slice and insert technique. Another stunning variation on classic cross quilt patterns this modern block is a lovely way to show your faith in a contemporary way.
