A - Z : X = X & +

Il y a une telle multitude de blocs de quilting que oui bien sûr, il en existe un en forme de X !
There are so many existing quilt blocks, yes of course, one of them is an X!

Déjà dans les années 1930-40 un quilt reprenait ce motif :
An antique quilt from 1930s-40s was featuring this pattern:

Smithsonian American Art Museum


"Calins et bisous" : blocs X et O
"Hugs and Kisses": X's and O's quilt blocks


Ce bloc traditionnel a plusieurs nom, mais récemment, il est devenu connu sous le nom de X et O, autrement dit calins et bisous en anglais (hugs and kisses). Pourquoi ? Parce que ces 2 blocs sont en fait le même, et selon leur disposition, un X ou un O apparaîtront alors.

One of the traditional names of this quilt block is Paths to Piece, but in recent years it's become know as X's and O's - in other words, hugs and kisses. Why? Because depending on how the quilt blocks are sewn together, one or both of those letters will emerge in the design.

Bloc japonais X et +
Japanese X and + quilt block


Ce bloc est devenu très populaire sous le nom de "X japonais", quand Setsuko Inagawa a exposé son quilt au Festival de Tokyo, en 2011.

This old Spool Block has become popular as "Japanese X" because of a quilt exhibited in Tokyo Quilt Festival by Setsuko Inagawa in 2011.

So clever. I like Little Miss Shabby's and the Japanese quilts because the X and O are not as obvious. It's fun to work at finding them.
love the X block so many ways that can be done and I have made a couple of those
I love the last picture! I adore colorful things like that :) I bet it took some planning!

The best thing about sewing, knitting, crafting? X posts are very easy. Just find the X pattern. There will be multiple.
Hi Joy, you are ready to be part of the AtoZ Challenge next year ;))
The easiest pattern, for sure! Great to find it in all the crafts, like a link ;)

The Japanese X and + is a real eye dazzler. Just my kind of quilt pattern!
Those are some wonderful variations. Thanks for sharing!
I like those X and O quilts - the blocks are so easy to make and the designs are interesting! The Japanese X and + is really neat!

I like the Kisses & Hugs Baby Quilt, however, I can see how the pattern works nicely in the Japanese X.

The baby quilt is so pretty. I feel i should own most of the colourful quilts.

Enjoyed figuring the X and Os in the different placement of the blocks. Very clever. Stopping by from the #AtoZChallenge Road Trip!(Linda) https://queasypeasy.wordpress.com

Beautiful! I love the Lat one because it is so colorful. The baby quilt is sweet, too! I'm visiting from A to Z Road Trip.
I’ve never seen this pattern - love it! I have two of my grandmother - the flower garden and wedding ring. She quilted by seeing and copying - couldn’t read or follow a pattern but she could look at it and then copy.
