Delaware Crosspatch

What a wonderful name! I knew i had to try it the minute i saw it.

I didn't want to stop my roll of the past week, and decided to work on the last pair of cushion covers to complete what i have named the"green set". Toyed with trying something other than quilting, but the brain wouldnt stretch beyond. So I decided to try a new patch - it had to be paper pieced, with all kinds of triangles.


I found the Delaware Crosspatch in 7" at Quilter's Cache, and decided to do it as a single 16" block because a) i didnt want to spend much time on it and b) my boys have a predilection for throwing the cushions on the floor to lie down when watching t.v., and i didnt want to go on about "the good cushions" :).

I love paper piecing not just because of the perfect points i can get with all the odd shaped pices, but also because i get to use Autocad to create the foundation blocks, and just print them off.
