November 10, 2023 class
       Linda Halpin's Mexican Cross Workshop - 6 hours
Cheery colors pop in this fun version of the Mexican Cross block. Not only is it a great pattern for using up lots of different fabrics in one quilt, but the construction technique cleverly creates a bonus quilt out of the cutaways.
This complex looking pattern is a snap when you make it with my shortcut techniques.
