Patchwork van de Kruizen

I was a bit intimidated by English Paper Piecing before, but this pattern’s symmetrical cross layout makes it easy to keep everything aligned. The fussy-cutting guide is incredibly clear, and the finished blocks have a beautiful glow once stitched together.

The fussy-cutting guide in this book made it so easy to line up the fabric patterns perfectly, and the symmetrical crosses really do glow once assembled. I’ve already started three blocks and the precision of the templates is fantastic.

I was a bit intimidated by English Paper Piecing at first, but this pattern’s instructions make the symmetrical crosses so approachable. The fussy-cutting guide is a lifesaver—my first block came out looking even better than the photos.
