Default My Swap Arkansas Crossroads top is finished

Here's the finished top. I used the 2.5" squares I received in the birthday 'candy' swap... so many great fabrics! My X blocks were done with 4.5" squares. It finished out at 65" x 81". I did 9 rows of 7 blocks, plus the extra half-block border that completes the points. Haven't decided on a quilting pattern yet, but I'm tossing around an idea. Thanks for looking!

Beautiful! A very modern look but made with older fabrics. Refreshing and unique!

I love it especially the background fabric - I know you've probably hear that a lot! I also love how you kept the colors in each block in the same family

this is great! you did a wonderful job...and everyone else is right, that old b&w advertising print really makes this quilt that much more special. really makes the colors pop but adds interest in the background as well...I found myself reading the ads, hehe! thanks for sharing!
