Sewcialites 3 Block 18 – Cross Current by Stacy Iest Hsu

Welcome back for week 18 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 flowingly fun Cross Current by Stacy Iest Hsu!

Cross Current by Stacy Iest Hsu

This week’s designer, Stacy Iest Hsu, is the creative mind behind her cute fabric collections and clever quilt patterns. This week, she brought us the experienced-level Cross Current Block, and together we get to practice matching points and mastering working with bias edges! You can join Kimberly for a live sewing tutorial of the Cross Current Block on Friday, June 19th, at 9AM CT, in the Behind The Seams Livestream on the Fat Quarter Shop YouTube Channel.

Stacy is sewing her Sewcialites 3 Quilt with her My Secret Garden collection for Moda Fabrics.

Take a look at the Cross Current 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.
