Crossroads quilt top is finished.

7 years ago

I finished this top from the book Tributes and Treasures by Paula Barnes and Marry Ellen Robison last night. I know browns and dark reds and blues are not everyone's favorite colors, but I love them. They are very much in keeping with the theme of the book which is "vintage-inspired quilts made with reproduction prints." There are 18 different fabrics in the center blocks. I had always been more of a modern quilt lover until I saw this book. It has inspired me to make two of the patterns so far. The border fabric was actually designed by Paula Barnes, so I think she would approve. It finished at 71x88, a little bigger than the pattern, but I cut the border a little wider to achieve the look I wanted from the border fabric. I have no home for this one yet, so it may languish in the to-be-quilted pile for a bit.
