Wonky Cross Quilt

Remember the sneak peeks from last week? Well, here is the finished product! (Sorry the picture is so dark - it was very dreary outside!)

Wonky Cross Quilt

I made this quilt for a good family friend whose husband passed away recently. She and my Mom were very close, so it was important to me to do something for her.

This is the first time I've done this block, and it was really quick! I started the top on Monday, and after three sessions had the whole thing finished, quilted and bound! I did some straight line quilting, and I also did the binding by machine for the first time. I also pieced the back for the first time! I really liked that process.

I just used some of the scraps to make a big improv log cabin block for the back, and used some stash fabrics for the rest.

So this little number is done and gifted! I'll share more this week about the process!
