Cross Quilt - nearly finished....

My challenge to myself over the Easter holidays was to get one of the tops I have, quilted and finished. 

I nearly managed it, but when I decided on the quilting pattern, around the inside of each plus sign I didn't realise just how long it would take me!! There are 89 shapes......

Oh well, at least it has made me determined to crack FMQ which I have procrastinated about for far too long!!

I am going to get the edges and binding on this finished this week. I am looking forward to some quick fix projects, I've seen so many over the last couple of weeks but I was determined I wasn't going to be sidetracked. 

Strips sewn together now...".

I didn't manage any sewing yesterday as I was shattered after helping Elle paint her living room. After a long soak in the bath I just lounged on the sofa.

I had an early start this morning to watch the quilting show on Create & Craft at 8am, so I've managed quite a bit of sewing today. 

I have finished sewing the strips together, just need to find the other fabrics and put the strips round the edges, who knows, I may even get it done this week! 

The pattern is from 'Jelly Roll Dreams' by Pam & Nicky Lintott and the fabric is 'Winters Lane by Moda.

Only 3 more weeks until half term.... Not that I'm counting!!
