Noughts & Crosses
May 5th, 2009Make this double bed sized quilt for someone who needs lots of O’s & X’s. We used “Jelly Rolls” for this quilt and a white tone on tone fabric for the background (which makes the O’s & X’s). We stitched our sample from the “Urban Couture” fabric by Moda and were really pleased with the modern edge this fabric created. This quilt would also look great from a good mix of your favorite scrap fabrics.
Workshop on: Friday May 15th from 9:30 – 3:30.
