Alternative is a modern take on the pairing of two simple blocks. The pattern uses the foundation paper piecing method for the X Block and traditional piecing for the Plus Block. It includes the X Block template, a coloring block map, and instructions with full color illustrations. Alternative is a fun and simple pattern with a lot of opportunities for individualization with the fabrics you choose.
