12/17 - Patchwork of the Crosses Workshop

In this workshop, you will learn to make your own version of the Lucy M. Boston Patchwork of the Crosses quilt. The roughly 10-inch blocks look intricate but are easily pieced by hand and are a great for people who love to fussy cut - or those who love a complex pattern. 

We will talk about the quilt’s history and different ways of tackling and executing your own Lucy Boston quilt, including fabric choice, ways of constructing the blocks, and how to assemble the quilt top.
