Happy Easter!! I got a finish in before the bunny arrived

Crossroads is done!!  I think I might put it back on the frame and feather the parts of the X that are quilted, it just doesn't look that even to me.  But that's not gonna happen for a while. We'll see if it grows on me

And since I finished one of the quilts on my to-do list, that means I get to start another one.  This is one that will be for Hands 2 Help (did you sign up yet?  see the button on the side).  It's a double nine patch, which I found here.  A couple different layouts, not sure which one I like the most.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Easter.  Don't eat too many of those peeps or jelly beans :)

DWM - 3/25 and Hands2Help

Well, really there's nothing on the design wall that's new or even interesting.  Dang.  but there will be soon because you know what time of year it is!  It's time for Hands 2 Help, make a quilt for two great charities.  Just click on the button and check it out.  Better hurry, there's a give away for signing up.

So why nothing on the design wall?  Cuz I was quilting like a crazy woman!!  I tried so hard to get it finished, but it just wasn't going to happen.  I have the bottom border to do and the feathers going up one of the side borders.  Man I wish I knew how to do feathers upside down.  When I have a one sided feather (just doesn't sound right does it) I have to go in a circle.  I can't do bother side borders.  Doesn't look at that nice with all the markings does it?   I mark and use a ruler.  Talk about taking twice as long, but I do need to do it.  And I think I'm getting better with the ruler, no bites out of the ruler this quilt.  I've got some pretty good nicks in some of the ruler.  I found out who quilted the original design for this, Sheri Butler who posted on the APQS forum.  Wow, she's inspiring :)  Thanks to Sandie for a great name for the quilt, Crossroads here's what she said - "Your paths crossed in Pinterest where you found the inspiration piece, the blocks intersect with the cross that forms, and all of our paths cross every week here on DWM." Brilliant!
