Ohio Star Cross Stitch Pattern | Civil War Quilt Block, Americana Hoop Design (PDF Download)

"The Ohio Star is one of the most recognisable quilt blocks in American patchwork history — a simple, bold nine-patch star that quilters have been piecing for well over a century. This little chart brings that same graphic punch to cross stitch: quick to make, satisfying to hoop, and a lovely first stitch in a Civil War-inspired collection.

WHAT YOU'LL RECEIVE
- 1 PDF cross stitch chart, colour-blocked and symbol-keyed for easy reading
- Full DMC floss colour list (2 shades)
- Suggested fabric and finishing notes

DESIGN DETAILS
- Stitch count: 45 x 45
- Finished size: 3.2"" x 3.2"" (8.2cm x 8.2cm) on 14 count aida, or 2.8"" x 2.8"" (7.1cm x 7.1cm) on 16 count aida
- Designed to fit comfortably in a 4"" hoop with fabric to spare for mounting
- Fabric: 14 or 16 count aida (cream/white recommended) — my own stitched sample is worked on 16 count for a finer, more detailed finish, but 14 count works just as beautifully and gives you a slightly larger finished piece if you'd prefer that
