First of all I want to say a big THANK YOU for sharing your ideas for "In the summertime" in my previous post!
I have an idea slowly brewing for the block. Slowly being the key word...
And finally, with help from the man with long arms, taking some outdoor pictures between the rain showers...
Very happy to have a finish!
But I have been busy with a couple of other projects. Inspired by Carla and Jenny, I set out to finish my cross quilt.
Adding a row and a column to increase the size to 54" * 66".
Piecing a backing. Selecting a solid pink to go with the added cross blocks.
Pin basting and organic lines quilting on Quilters Dream Select cotton batting.
And finally, with help from the man with long arms, taking some outdoor pictures between the rain showers...
Very happy to have a finish!These cross blocks were so fun to make, I think there will be another cross quilt in the future. The only thing to remember is to allow at least an extra 1.5 " or 2" on the starter squares, to make the process a bit easier.
Crossing this one of the list...
