This cross quilt was started last fall, with a specific person in mind. I wanted something a bit more muted and simple in design than what I generally make. Along the way, I decided to make this person something else instead, but I finished the quilt anyways.
Now that I see it in photos, I realize that it is still fairly busy and has a lot going on. Guess it’s just really hard for me to make a quilt without adding texture and print and color! I really do like it though, it’s nice to do a different color palette for a change.
That one green print with the little stitches on it? Those stitches are part of the fabric, I didn’t put them there. Just thought I’d mention it as I don’t deserve the credit for those sweet little stitches! Fabrics like this with added interest and texture are always a win to have in your stash.
It finished up at approximately 54″ square. I’m not usually a fan of square quilts, so not sure how this happened? I think I got lazy and didn’t feel like making more blocks to make it a rectangle…. anyways, here it is and I like it!

I like the liveliness of your design. While it has a modern feel, it still gives a nod to the traditional, which I love, too. Lovely quilt!

I love this! Your fabric choices always teach me something! And the straight line quilting gives me hope to save $$ using longarm quilters. Please share your stitch length for your quilting. I'm guessing 2.5 or 3. Thank you!
