Hmmm... I have adapted cross stitch patterns to filet crochet, and tapestry crochet before, but had to limit how many colors could be in the pattern for them. A small redwork or toile type cross stitch pattern might be something to try to adapt to quilting when my point matching gets a little better. Gives me something to aspire to I guess. That quilt is just stunning.

Wow - I want to do one.................
How do you think the pieces were done???? Do you think they were placed on a grid and then sewed in lines???

inquiring minds want to know............. would love more info on this project.

cross stitch patterns are usually made on a grid 1 stitch per square. I was thinking along the lines of one square of fabric for each square of the pattern. Using white or natural for blank squares in the pattern and the appropriate color of fabric to represent each stitch. I was taught to cross stitch by working in rows across the grid. So I would probably work the same way in quilting. Piecing the squares together one row at a time and joining the rows as I completed them. This is just my theory on how to do it, and someone more experienced could probably think of a quicker or easier way to do it.

That is amazing! I saw a picture of a quilt a long, long time ago that was done all with HSTs and they were so tiny that the quilt actually looked like it was a cross stich from afar.

I love this place. Could spend hours there. Quilt must be recently acquired as it was not there when I visited last summer. Thanks for sharing.
