The Alpine Cross quilt block is an easy block to sew and that makes it that much more fun to design your final quilt, as it goes together quickly.

The quilt layout featured below on the left continues with the darker fabric as a focus, which gives a unique vertical design when the blocks are placed on point.

The quilt layout illustrated on the right sets the blocks side by side producing a look of stars (at least it does to me) as a subtle, secondary design.
