Clara’s Cross Free Quilt Pattern by Jill Reid
Clara’s Cross combines thirteen Greek Cross blocks, thirty-two nine-patches and four fussy-cut fabric squares in a 42-inch-square quilt. Jill Reid’s design uses dark and light fabrics from the Clara Barton collection, with red accents through the cross blocks and featured squares. Half-square triangles form part of the cross construction. The quilting suggestion combines diagonal and vertical straight lines to create a hanging-diamond pattern across the finished quilt.
