Arkansas Crossroad quilt

Years ago I made a quilt for my niece, it was an Arkansas crossroad quilt.  This became one of my favorite quilts ever.

Because I gave this quilt away, I never see it.  So, I decided to make this quilt for my youngest daughter Macey this past year for Christmas.    It is so easy to make, everything is just squares and HST’s, though they are very small.  I used a variety of fabrics, but the majority is Riley Blake fabrics.


Here I am sewing on one of the four borders!  I wanted this to be a large quilt that would cover the mattress well.  


I machine quilted this on my babylock Aria, with a open faced darning foot.


I forgot to get good pictures of the quilt and it is made on her ‘top bunk bed’ so..... pictures aren’t the best.  


This is the pillow sham that I have started to make for her bad.
