Sewcialites 3 Block 14 - Criss Cross Star by Lori Holt

Welcome back for week 14 of the Sewcialites 3 Quilt Along as we celebrate our amazing quilting community! Each week, one of the 25 oh-sew-talented designers we’ve teamed up with is bringing you a new block pattern. This week, we’re excited to introduce the shimmering Criss Cross Star by Lori Holt!

Criss Cross Star Block by Lori Holt

This week’s designer is Lori Holt, the prolific fabric, notion, and pattern designer for Riley Blake Designs. This week, she brought us the beginner-level Criss Cross Star Block. Let your scrappy side shine and explore the versatility of corner square construction with this one. You can join Kimberly for a live sewing tutorial of the Criss Cross Star Block on Friday, May 22nd, at 9AM CT, in the Behind The Seams Livestream on the Fat Quarter Shop YouTube Channel.

Lori is sewing her Sewcialites 3 Quilt with fabrics from her Farmer’s Daughter Collection for Riley Blake Designs.

Take a look at the Criss Cross Star Block in all three size options, using different collections! Kimberly sewed the 6″ block using Lyda Rose by Bunny Hill Designs for Moda Fabrics, Gina Tell (@gina_tell_threadgraffiti) made the 3″ block in Wild Honey by Lella Boutique for Moda Fabrics, and Pat Sloan (@quilterpatsloan) pieced her 9″ block with Rosie by Fig Tree Quilts for Moda Fabrics.

Three of our Quilty Staffers are joining in and making the 9″ blocks using Blueprint by Camille Roskelley for Moda Fabrics, American Gatherings III by Primitive Gatherings for Moda Fabrics, and In the Garden by Corey Yoder for Moda Fabrics.
