Peggy Lindsay
$40* +BSS
Class meets two times: Thu, May 2 and 16 ~ 10-2 pm

This quilt is a modern take on the traditional cross block used during World War 1 to raise money for the American Red Cross. No two crosses in this quilt are alike, with partial and “ghost” crosses appearing throughout. Your quilt will be uniquely yours, with improvised cross blocks, different fabric textures and the way you design and construct the background. Class finishes with a discussion about quilting techniques for creating the “ghost” images.
