One of my favorite ways to go exploring is to go out on the water. A Crossed Canoes block is framed with traditionally pieced half-square triangles as an homage to the classic Lady of the Lakes block–thus, Canoe Lady! The Canoe Lady pattern is terrific for practicing basic foundation paper piecing skills, but you can use an Accuquilt die to cut the shapes instead.

This block is part of Quilt Block Mania. A group of designers agreed to create quilt block patterns based on one theme. We hope to introduce you to a wide variety of designers and techniques while you have fun creating your own quilt.
