"X" Rated Quilting Fun!
 

I LOVE making X-Blocks quilts. You start with simple piecing such as a strip set or nine patch, then cut with the X-Blocks ruler to make the magic.

This pattern is called 'Thornton' and is a little more challenging than some of the simpler patterns, but it still wasn't difficult. You first make a small block using the BellyButton ruler. That becomes the center of the larger X-block, which uses a partial seam technique.

The leftovers get made into the table runner and a few placemats (I don't have photos of the placemats yet.)

Hope you enjoy looking.

Wow! I'm taking an X block class tomorrow and I like yours much better than the sample I saw. Could be a technique thing, but probably color choices are what make the difference. I like my colors - all strips cut and ready to go, so hope it turns out as nice as yours!

Oh my gosh I love love love this quilt!!

Lovely! Beautiful quilt!

very cool!

WOW....I love it!! Great colors! :)

Wow, I love your quilt. It sounds interesting and might need to add it to my "someday" list to make.

There are lots of different X-Blocks patterns, Lynn. Which one are you doing? I'm sure it will be great - have fun in your class!

I love that design, and your choice of colors. Very op-arty.

Just beautiful, great job, thank you for sharing Have a Blessed day Ellen

That is a beautiful quilt! Never her of this before but looks very interesting!

Lovely quilt in such pretty colors! Beautifully done!

Great find!

So beautiful!!!!!

this is still on my to do list. What was your color placement before re-cutting? I've had the ruler maybe 3 or 4 years now? Guess I'll have to live to 100!!

Beautiful quilt

Was that patterning a book or a single pattern? It's wonderful.

Me, too! I think I bought a couple of patterns to use with it but the whole lot of it is buried under numerous other UFO's... LOL! But after seeing how fabulous yours turned out, I may have to excavate mine & get the show on the road. Thank you for sharing & for the inspiration!

First one I've seen like this. I love it!

I haven't seen this pattern, but I love it. I've made Mo's Basket X-Block and have a couple others on my to-do list.

Fantastic! Great quilt; lovely colors.

I was looking for a metal wallhanging hanger in my drawer full of templets and ran across my two X Block rulers and three patterns today. I thought to myself, I need to play with these! I love the look and yours came out great!

Ditto from me.

love it. love the colors :)

Love that X Block quilt, I have one made out of first book, still have to add borders. They are fun to make.

Very nice job.

Absolutely love the quilt, but you lost me in the first sentence. Went back and tried to wrap my mind around what you were saying, but no use. Guess this dog is too old.

OMG that is outstanding! Love the colors!

Beautiful! And a great use of the leftovers!

This is so cool. Never heard of a belly button ruler!!! Need to do some research on that one.
