Cross & Crown Quilt
 
3 Attachment(s)
This is another quilt I made based on fabric that I could use for a backing. Based on the colors and the theme of the sunflowers I chose the Cross & Crown Block because a) I had it on my "bucket list" and b) it looked like a flower. I think Bonnie Hunter has a quilt called Tulip Fields that is the same pattern. Anyway, I shopped my stash for all the[ATTACH=CONFIG]614449[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]614450[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]614451[/ATTACH] fabric used in this one and that's a good thing :)

​Lovely quilt and quilting! What batting did you use, I like the puff?

Beautiful, I love the gold with the teal. That looks wonderful.

Lovely and what a great tie-in from the front to the back. I do love large prints and rarely can find a place to use them better than a back!

I think the small print in the background print also gives a nice sparkle, not so stark as a solid.

Thank you! I use Hobbs 80/20. I like that its puffier than Warm & Natural, but not by much.

Oh my, so gorgeous! Lovely quilting, too. I love this quilt!

Very nice, I love the pop of raspberry from the block centers and binding.

Beautiful Quilt. and what a great idea to match a quilt top to backing you already have. Never thought of that, but it makes really good sense. Thank you for passing on a great tip.

It's beautiful. You did lovely quilting on this, and I also like the secondary pattern from the sashings and tiny corner squares.

Love the colors you chose for this pattern, it's stunning. I was not familiar with this pattern but it is now on my bucket list.

I like your quilt a lot. The pattern is just perfect for the fabrics you chose. I like the quilting and the dimension that it has. I wonder what batting you used. Enjoy!

Beautiful quilt and quilting.

Love your quilt top. I've made Cross and Crown before, but only in small table mats. Now a quilt is on my bucket list.

Oh my goodness ... you really nailed it! The colors are fantastic and I love the pattern!

Oh I'm so happy! While digging through my scraps I located my magazine with the Cross and Crown pattern I had used for table mats. McCalls Quilting March/April 2015. Looks like I might be trying to make a quilt!! Thanks for the inspiration.
