You could just take an Irish Chain pattern and adjust it to make the little crosses.

I wonder if you sent her a picture of "Irish Crosses"...it is shown on page 184 and 185in Leisure Arts "Encyclopedia of Classic Quilt Patterns". I got the book several years ago at Barnes and Noble but am sure it is still around ..probably at a bargain on Amazon. The quilt's finished size is 96"x96" and is a scrap quilt. My mother actually made one and it was really pretty and she said it was not difficult! PM me if you need any more information.

Here is one that is partially paper pieced. Hope this helps. http://quilterscache.com/S/SchoenrockCrossBlock.html

I am working on three, one for my daughter, my Mom and for our home.

So it's an Irish Chain with a 9 patch in the center blocks. Should be easy to figure out.

[QUOTE=GammaLou;5096293]I'm doing a quilt for my DSIL and sent her some irish chain pictures. I inadvertently included a Christian Cross picture and that is what she wants!! I don't have a pattern for that. Can anyone help me out here?

Michelle Watts had a collection of Christian Crosses. It is on her website. I have seen it done in black [not red] work and applique. Also using your machine's tripple stitch [if you have it.] works really well with this.

Edited: OOPS, Sorry I only just now saw the picture after posting.

it would be useful to see the picture of the one you sent to her that she likes rather than speculate o what she might like.

I have a pattern in progress for a friend who worked so hard to receive her pastorship. Each block is made to build the cross and the pieces are not hard at all. The borders have applique and if you are interested I will dig it out and send it to you. I'll try to find a picture to post of the pattern. It is just yummy and you reminded me I need to get in gear and finish it. Thanks

I think I saw it in an Eleanor Burns book, "Still Stripping after 25 Years. You might check her website.
