Funky Crossroads

This quick wall hanging uses Rosemarie Lavin’s Harmony collection for Windham Fabrics. With just four Arkansas Crossroads blocks, attention goes right to the medallion shape formed where the blocks meet. Although the prints in the Four-Patch units vary in color, value, and scale, they’re all set off well by the same chocolate brown tone-on-tone used as the base of each Floating Star unit.
