Crosses Quilted

I quilted the crosses yesterday. I was going to do something fancy but in the end just did my usual loops. I'm more interested in wall hangings these days and just wanted to get this one done and out of the way. I'm now trying to decide whether the binding should be the striped fabric or a mix of the cross fabrics or dark brown like the narrow inner border. I'm leaning toward the dark brown if I have enough of that fabric left.

Cross Quilt Borders

Yesterday I put the borders on the Cross Quilt. Now I need to cut the backing and get it on the frame. It is quite long and narrow but will probably please some tall person.

Long Enough?

The cross patches are sewn together but I am wondering if it would benefit from one more row to make it a bit longer. I have enough white fabric to make one more row and then there will be only scraps left. I also notice now that it is up on my computer screen, that the end rows would match better if I added one row. What do you think?

Not Finished Yet

I thought I was finished but now that it's set out on the design wall I see that it really needs to be one row wider. Luckily the crosses are fast and easy to make and I have enough white to do six more. Hopefully I'll get at it tomorrow.

Crosses

I haven't been in the studio much lately but today I managed to make some more crosses. The pink one is a hand dye and there is a bit of a white patch in it. It may not make the cut, depending on how tired I get of doing these.I also don't like the one with the pink striped fabric very much. It will probably only be a small quilt because I don't have a lot of the white fabric. It is an easy and fun pattern to make if you want something scrappy and quick.
