Ok. I am back again for the second time this week, channeling my inner Nancy Crow. I hope you will put up with me as I get this Crossroads phase out of my system.
I just had to have another go as this quilting grid, just to make sure it wasn't a fluke that both the piecing with long strips of fabric, and the gridded quilting, had worked out so well the first time around.
The piecing process, in particular the selection of fabric and the color play, was so much harder this time around. I may have spent too much time (over) thinking about the colors and their interactions, rather than just doing; and I think it may show.
The quilting, on the other hand, proved to be no problem. I started the quilting grid by first stitching either side of all horizontal seams, and then the vertical quilting lines were stitched, starting at one of the vertical seam line and slowly working my way out to the quilt edges.
I so wish you would feel the texture created by the quilting grid; the quilt is light and soft, and has a lovely drape which I don't think is conveyed well via the screen.
As usual I have updated my Etsy Store.
You can find the listings for both Crossroads quilts here: Crossroads I and Crossroads II - SOLD
I am now ready to leave my Crossroads phase behind. For the time being.
