- a little binding collage showing fabric detail, use & scale
And, we’re done! My ‘Crossroads’ quilt, {pattern from Treehouse Textiles} is a delightfully scrappy quilt, with a real vintage vibe. I've included some of my favourite fabrics from several years of stash building in this quilt!
For my backing I chose a wide quilt back, Ruby Star 'shell' in cotton sateen. It's so soft & silky, and makes for a super light weight quilt.
Home quilting every quilt I make is proving tricky so I had Leeanne from quiltmekiwi machine quilt this one. I chose in an edge-to-edge pattern called 'ripples', and am very happy with the result. There's a gentle texture while still showing off the quilt design.
The binding was a tad difficult to chose, but I ended up with an Alison Glass tone-on-tone blues. Blue seems to go with most things I sew, and with this quilt I felt it reflected the teal in my centre squares nicely and highlighted the blues in the backing fabric. My finished quilt measures approx. 70" x 58".
Until next time, Linda

What a lovely finish on the Crossroads Quilt!! I love all the beautiful scrappy blocks...so pretty...hugs, Julierose
I love your quilt so much that I ordered the digital download to make it. It's gorgeous!
As a child of the 40s and 50s, this has a definite vintage vibe and reminds me of the fabrics in my clothing in those times. Also reminiscent of the first fabrics I played with as I tried patchwork in the 1950s. It is so pretty and your piecing is perfection.
Love this!! I have her pattern and it's on my list!
I love the vintagey feel of this quilt!
A real wannamake quilt! Great fabrics and quilting!
Another beautiful finish for you! You have such a knack for selecting and combining complementary fabric prints.
That pattern is great for using so many wonderful fabrics. Don't you feel terrific for using up a lot of scraps? The quilting is terrific.
You already know how much I love this design! Your finished quilt is a delight. Gorgeous fabric combinations and such a wonderful scrappy look. Great choice of quilting design, too. This has turned out so well. It would be tempting to make lots of these quilts.
Love how your quilts always look so fresh
C'est une merveille, je l'adore !
This is everything a quilt should be. I made a nine patch similar to this pattern (but with square blocks, not rectangles) for my mom's couch. It has dusty pink centers, but I really like your teal as well!
