GO! Star & Cross-10" Finished

Why Quilters Love the GO! Star & Cross Die:
• Star & Cross is a traditional quilt block also known as ‘North Star’ and ‘Shining Hour’. The block style falls into the 'Nine X' category, characterized by a diagonal orientation within the square. The blocks are divided by diagonal seams, resulting in eight or nine distinct major shapes.
• Star & Cross is a Block on Board® (BOB®) die which means it’s specially designed to cut a 3-color, 10" block in one pass through the cutter.
• No Y seams! No foundation paper piecing! Star & Cross includes 11 shapes that are time-consuming to cut by hand.
• Star & Cross features specialized dog-ears and ¼" seam allowances for easy alignment and piecing.
• Star & Cross includes screen printed letters on die for easier piecing and organization of shapes.
• Free pattern downloads and step-by-step block assembly instructions are available to get you started.
• Fat Quarter-friendly
