"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.

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.
RépondreSupprimerlove the X block so many ways that can be done and I have made a couple of those
RépondreSupprimerI love the last picture! I adore colorful things like that :) I bet it took some planning!

Thanks for sharing such eXcellent examples!!
RépondreSupprimerHi Joy, you are ready to be part of the AtoZ Challenge next year ;))
SupprimerThe best thing about sewing, knitting, crafting? X posts are very easy. Just find the X pattern. There will be multiple.
RépondreSupprimerThe easiest pattern, for sure! Great to find it in all the crafts, like a link ;)
SupprimerGorgeous variations! Thanks for sharing and I'm looking forward to seeing what you make!
RépondreSupprimerThe Japanese X and + is a real eye dazzler. Just my kind of quilt pattern!
RépondreSupprimerThose are some wonderful variations. Thanks for sharing!
RépondreSupprimerI 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!
RépondreSupprimerI like the Kisses & Hugs Baby Quilt, however, I can see how the pattern works nicely in the Japanese X.
RépondreSupprimerThe 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
RépondreSupprimerBeautiful! 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.
RépondreSupprimerI’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.
