Criss Cross is a modern geometric quilt pattern built around clean construction and bold visual flow. Alternating blocks create blue and purple stripes that move diagonally across the quilt top, making the block edges nearly disappear. The result is a design that looks complex but is constructed from precise, repeatable units.

This pattern began with a simple crossed motif, but a fabric shortage led to the addition of a second accent color. That shift created the layered stripe effect that defines the final design. Sometimes the best design decisions happen mid-project.

Criss Cross is written with carefully planned seam directions to allow for nesting and spun centers, so blocks align cleanly and lie flat. The layout relies on consistent block orientation rather than rotation, allowing the stripes to travel uninterrupted across the quilt surface.
