Last month I told you about our Yo-Yo Mama's project that we are working on together...if you forgot...you can go HERE to read about it.....long story short, we exchanged 2 1/2" squares and we are all doing something different with them.
So I've had a little bit of time to work on mine...
It feels great to be able to work on something that I can show you!
I'm making a crossroads block that finishes 16 inches square....
This is what the blocks look like with 4 together... I am making 16 blocks total for my quilt. I"m going to skip putting on a border and just bind it after the quilting is complete. The quilt will finish 64" x 64" and I am making it for my kitchen table.
I'm really pleased with the way that it's turning out...very scrappy and vintagey looking...my favorite kind of quilt!
Oh it's wonderful Lori...it will be awesome on your table.

It is really darling. Love it. It will be perfect.
ReplyDeleteI stumbled on this while checking our your blog today, May 2013. I have almost finished my quilt like this for oldest grandchild graduating this month. Love the way it looks with the white crossroads. I think this is an old pattern, originally Arkansas Crossroads maybe? Do you know the origin? Thanks for your beautiful quilts & inspiration!
