About this quilt
Lichen Flying X is a Flying X crib quilt in candlewax, lichen, tarnished gold, moss shadow and aubergine, set five by six of eight-inch blocks with one-and-a-half-inch gold sashing so each cross sits in its own frame. Finished size is 56 by 66 inches. Flying X, also called Crosses and Losses, is a triangle block: lichen points form an X on candlewax, with extra triangles in the lower corners. Cut the accent triangles from paired squares, sew them to the cream, and press toward the lichen so the candlewax stays flat. Gold sashing keeps the Xs from merging into a night sky. A moss-shadow inner border and an aubergine outer border close the seasonal frame. The pattern suits a confident beginner who wants a graphic Halloween make at crib size without fussy seams. The download is a full pattern pack with yardage, a cutting chart, piecing order and the layout for this quilt.
