superbuzzy Embroidered Patch - Japanese X & + Quilt Block

According to Barbara Brackman’s Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns, the Japanese X & + quilt block is attributed to Nancy Cabot from 1938, and was originally called the Spool Block. Much later, in 2011, a quilt using this block by Japanese quilter Setsuko Inagawa went viral in the quilt blog world and on Flickr, and many quilt-alongs and block exchanges were initiated for what then became known as the Japanese X and + block. I love this block so much that we've commemorated it with this exclusive superbuzzy embroidered patch! This limited edition, iron-on embroidered patch is perfect for embellishing your bag, jacket, or sash. These embroidered, iron-on patches (or wappen, as they're called in Japan) are perfect embellishments for clothing, bags, and more. Adhesive backing is activated with the heat of an iron; we recommend stitching in place for permanent placement.

Patches are 1 1/2" in diameter.
