Greek Cross Quilt Block Pattern
The traditional Greek Cross quilt block can look very different depending on your choice of colors and color values. The differences might not seem dramatic when you view one block, but sew a group of blocks together and you'll see a much altered quilt, where different elements pop out to dominate the design.The Greek Cross block looks good no matter how you choose to design it, scrappy or structured. Sew your blocks into rows, side by side, or place them on point and alternate them with plain squares or Snowball blocks.
Finished Block Size: 12-inches square
