Cross Ties is the Fourth in the Straight to the Point Series. Instructions for five size options.

Cross Ties uses a simple rail fence block. Blocks are 6" or 7 1/2" depending on quilt size and are fast to sew. All the blocks are set as straight rows. The quilt is then cut and resewn into an on-point setting. The are NO diagonal rows of different sizes and NO setting triangles. Our technique makes On-Point sets a snap. Download our quick demonstration page.

The cross tie blocks can be made with as few as four fabrics. Choose two dark fabrics for the outside bars and two light fabrics for the inner bars of the rail fence block. You can vary the fabrics used for the two darks and lights for a scrappy look. Another option is to use many fabrics to create the shaded appearance shown on the lap size sample quilt. Two border options are included: one for an antique look and one for a contemporary look.  Our sample above is the Baby Quilt made with Poppies and Flora Bell Tonals by Fabri-Quilt.
