X-Block and BasiX Templates by Cactus Queen Quilt Company
Cactus Queen Quilt Company's X-Block and BasiX systems are among the most innovative precision quilting tools available — acrylic templates engineered to produce perfect points, precise angles, and consistent blocks without the traditional difficulty of cutting exact triangles and specialty shapes.
X-Block Template System
The X-Block system creates the signature X-Block quilt design — a versatile block that produces dozens of different quilt patterns depending on how the blocks are arranged. Available in two sizes:
- X-Block 6.5" — three template variants: Standard, Mini, and Bellybutton. The standard produces full-size X-Blocks; the Mini creates smaller-scale versions; the Bellybutton creates the distinctive center-rounded variant.
- X-Block 7.5" — same three variants (Standard, Mini, Bellybutton) in the larger finished size.
BasiX Template System
The BasiX system simplifies traditional quilt blocks using precision-cut acrylic templates that eliminate the need for paper piecing or complex cutting sequences:
- BasiX Template — the full-size standard BasiX for traditional-size blocks
- Baby BasiX Template — the smaller-scale version for compact and baby quilt projects
Coordinating Patterns
Every X-Block and BasiX template has coordinating quilt patterns available at Linda's — the pattern and template system are designed together for a complete, accurate quilting experience.
