Selvage Quilt Block Tutorial {the Criss Cross Block}

Tutorial· video

2 Nov

Hi there! Today I have a new selvage quilt block tutorial for you.

Criss Cross Selvage Quilt Block Tutorial, by Bryan House Quilts

Using selvages in a quilt is a great way to feature a completely unique, colorful fabric. In my last few videos, I showed you how I cut and store my selvages and how I make Selvage Fabric.

In my new YouTube tutorial up and posted, you’ll learn how to use Selvage Fabric and how to make this Selvage Criss Cross quilt block, also known as a lattice quilt block.

This Criss Cross block design is an ideal way to show off selvage fabric, and there are a ton of ways you can arrange these fun little blocks – X’s, O’s, and arrows just to name a few.

So far, I’ve put together 4 of these Criss Cross Selvage quilt blocks but I think I’ll keep going. This would make such a great quilt! So my plan is to keep sewing these quilt blocks until I have 64 in total. I will need to make more selvage fabric though! And I actually may need to purchase more fabric to collect some additional selvages, ha!

I cannot recommend enough having a spinning cutting mat. I don’t have a lot of notions, but this one is worth it! Also, here’s a link for Washi tape. I love using Washi tape on my rulers and templates.

    You do realise it’s called Salvedge, not Selvage?
    Just wondering, Nice quilts though,

      Hey Jackie! Yes, there are a few ways to spell selvage. I’ve only seen selvage spelled these two ways: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selvage

      For consistency on my website I choose the US spelling and went with that. Though I was tempted to adopt the British spelling. 🙂

      Thanks for your comment!

This is what makes my programs accessible for even This is what makes my programs accessible for even brand-new quilters: ⬇️

👉 They’re built with Modern Triangles.
Think of them like quilty puzzle pieces. One small shape at a time. Each month you make a set of triangles, and by the end of the year… you’ll suddenly have a quilt that feels like a masterpiece.

👉 You only ever need to focus on the next step.
Not the whole quilt, not the finishing, not how it will look months from now.
Just one block (or triangle!) at a time.

👉 YOU don’t have to do the hard thinking because I’ve already done that for you.
No math, no stress, no guesswork, just clear instructions, support when you need it, and joyful sewing!

Your job is simply to create, enjoy, experiment, and celebrate the “Ta-Da!” moments along the way.

Whether you’ve made 50 quilts or zero, you belong here, and you’ll finish with something you’re really proud of.

I’m not even exaggerating when I say that I probab I’m not even exaggerating when I say that I probably would have saved hundreds of hours if I knew the magic of freezer paper piecing when I first started quilting. 😅

There was a time when I almost gave up quilting altogether because I HATED paper piecing so much, and it took me so long. 

Having to sew through your foundations, spend countless hours ripping paper from the seams, having sore fingers, and not even wanting to do it anymore... That’s where I was with the whole paper piecing thing. Ready to just throw in the towel. 

And then a friend introduced me to Freezer Paper Piecing, and it changed my life forever. I have never looked back, and now I LOVE paper piecing. 🙌

Instead of tearing paper out of every seam, I could just peel it off… and use it again... and again... and again! 

It was like magic. And it still feels like magic every time I do it! 🪄

Comment “FREEZER” if you want to take my free class and experience the magic yourself. 💕

All these triangles come together to make one STUN All these triangles come together to make one STUNNING quilt! 🤩

The Echo was such a fun, unique design that was unlike anything I had made with triangles yet.

It felt bold and different, yet symmetrical. ✨

And of course, made with modern traingles blocks, some were simple, and some were challenging.

But the whole process from start to finish is so much fun! If you want to learn as you go and make your own version of the Echo, comment ‘ECHO’ and I’ll send you the details to my Block of the Month program, where you get ALL the tools, tutorials, and resources to make this quilt! 🫶

All you have to do is pick your color plan, shop your fabric stash, and get ready to start sewing! 🪡
