"This block is one of my own designing, and looks best made in two colors, although scraps of dark and light goods may be utilized with good effect. For a quilt, it would not be advisable to make the squares less than 12x12 inches, as the pieces are so small; but a lovely cushion could be made of 4 blocks, each 10 inches square. For this, red and blue would be very pretty, red for the crosses, blue for the background and back." Contributor's note: No. 67 in the Clara Stone catalog introduced May 1906, a selection of 188 designs published 1897-1905.
