A very special place to me, the Blue Mountain Christian Retreat, tragically burned to the ground in November. I am doing a blog of the re-building process. Oh, here's a link to the blog, in case anyone's interested: http://bmcr.weebly.com/ It sat on a beautiful hillside surrounded by forests.
I've been oo-ing and awww-ing at many pictures of the gorgeous bargello quilts on the Board. I'm just wondering, has anyone ever seen a pattern for one with a cross incorporated into it? If I can't find a specific pattern for this one, I'd also be very interested in any pattern incorporating a cross. I really think it would be wonderful to make a quilt to donate for the new building. I would have plenty of time to work on it, as they haven't yet firmed up a new plan. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Trina (who's 'iced' in with the kiddos, with one having a fever today) :( |
Try looking for stained glass cross pattern. They can be pieced/appliqued onto the bargello. I hav eused several of the free patterns from Spectrum and Warner.

What a terrible tragedy! But God doesn't need a building he has the whole world!! I'm so sorry for the loss of such a beautiful place. Something better will come about from this you watch!!! God Bless

This looks a cross. I think it could very easily be adapted to what you want. |

Here's something I found ... hope it helps ... sorry to hear about your church, however God will provide and I am sure it will be rebuilt better than before ... |
What a tragic loss. No doubt, amazing stories will come from the rebuilding.
Although I've done several quilts with a cross theme for retreats (formerly NCNY Walk to Emmaus, now known as Closer Walk), none of them invloved bargello piecing. I agree that the cherry blossom one posted looks like it could be adapted by somebody familiar with bargellos. Good luck - can't wait to see where God leads you. |
The strange thing is that I can actually see a picture of this quilt in my mind's eye. Vibrant colors (with floral patterns) with a white cross in the middle.
Dumb question, but is it possible to actually MAKE a pattern for this? Maybe one of the quilting software programs if it's not possible to do with pencil and paper? |

I've been rooting through my sewing room and found an old Clotilde catalog. I found a picture that would maybe give an idea of what I'm looking for. Who knows, maybe there actually IS a pattern out there.
This one is a table runner with the white center and butterflies, but if you can imagine a smaller wall hanging with the cross being white, that's what I'd love to find. Trina :) |

Trina,
So sad about what happened. Here is a site for a cross quilt wall hanging, it isn't free, but not that expensive. I made one and it wasn't very hard, just lots of little squares. Here is a picture of it.... http://lucyfazely.com/patterns.html Cross wallhanging [ATTACH=CONFIG]163088[/ATTACH] |
