Crosses & Losses Quilt

  As the cleaning continues, I came across a picture of a quilt.  As I looked at it, I recognized it as Crosses & Losses.  That is when I knew that I needed to create the pattern for it.  Today, I put the pattern together and decided to share it with you.
  Some changes from the 6 1/2" blocks is that they are 10 1/2" blocks and very scrappy.  The quilt is 90" x 100", a 7 blocks by 8 rows layout with a 10" border.  The sequence of the dark fabric verses light fabric alternates in each block.  You can change the border to what ever you would like.  Also, if you made the 6 1/2" block in the same layout and add border or borders, you will have a nice lap size quilt.  So, dig out those scraps and start quilting.
