Cross Quilt
I bought a Laser-Cut Cross but then searched forever for just the right fabric to fuse it onto. I found it in a Pittsburgh quilt store. It has little Christian fish on it. But i had asked to go to 2 quilt stores on my bday and only got to one. In the end, I had to buy the border fabrics at Joann's. They weren't quite what i wanted, but oh well.
 |
| The Cross, instructions, base fabric, and 2 border fabrics |
 |
| The Base fabric plus the 2 borders. |
 |
| Very fragile, and even then a little off side, I didn't really notice until i was doing the echo stitching. Bad Diane. |
 |
| The Cross applique pressed on |
 |
| Backing all taped on, taut |
 |
| top and batting all taped down , centered on the backing |
 |
| pinned and ready to be quilted |

| HMM, about then i decided this was going way too slow, and started stitching further away by an inch, not half an inch. AND realized i was hitting the side on one side, OOPS |
 |
| A little lopsided? |
 |
| COOL!! |
