One of my favorite quilt block patterns is this empire cross fromfabric406on YouTube.
This pattern may look complex, but its actually pretty easy to make and beginner-friendly.
I love matching colors whenever I make this quilt, and it always looks stunning.

Step 2
Moving on to the half-square triangle units.
Using a medium/green 4 square and a dark/black 4 square, sew together two half-square triangles.
Sew 1/4 on each side of the marked line, then cut them apart along the marked line.
Next, open up the half-square triangle and press the seam allowance toward the black fabric.
After this, trim the unit to 3 1/2 square.
Repeat the steps to make four half-square triangle units.
After this, press the seam allowance toward the pink rectangle.
Next, sew a light/pink 2 x 5 rectangle, then press the seam toward the pink rectangle.
Repeat the steps to make four corner units.
Once done, sew units into three rows, then press the seam allowances toward the pointy units.
Now, sew the three rows together, then press the seam away from the center.
