Quilt WiP: "It was the 80s" - Fill Area #3 (6 inch blocks)

The last of the three fill in areas is in the right side, about the mid point.  It's an area 6 inches by 12 inches, so perfect for a pair of half size (6 inch) blocks.   I debated doing some true miniature piecing there, but when I saw the "X and O" block that Pat called "Hugs and Kisses" in her design, I knew what I was going to do.  That block was Block 20 in "Solstice", and I substituted a block from the old quilt, but I made one X and one O for this area.
These are four patches with each patch 'snowballed' on two opposite corners using the 'stitch and flip' technique.  The X and O simply happens with the way the 4 patches are orientated.   Fun little blocks.
