Golgotha or The Crowned Cross |
This is another of those blocks that I can't find any information on.
It is available in Electric Quilt's Blockbase program as #2068 however.
I used a combination of techniques to make my 6" block. I paper pieced the center and the pink and white units as shown in the photo.
I rotary cut the squares and rectangles that make up the outer edges of the block. The corner squares are cut 1 1/2" square and the side rectangles are cut 1 1/2" X 2 1/2". You need to cut four of each size.
(The first photo is only showing two sides of the quilt block.)
The parts go together in rows like this-
You can download my paper piecing pattern here.
This antique block in the Spencer Museum of Art has the colors placed differently and has an extra triangle at the end of each corner of the center block. Funny how such minor changes can completely change the look of a block.
