A Little More

A little more quilting that is.

I started trimming Arkansas Crossroads today so I could attach the binding but I kept getting distracted by these white crosses. I wasn't liking how "poofy" they look next to the crisp patchwork squares. So I got busy with my red Frixion pen and back to Mr. Juki I went.
Much better!
Next up was a stop at the ironing board to remove the Frixion lines and now I'm back where I started ready to trim and bind. Sometimes the quilt really is trying to tell me something and I need to pay better attention!
Aren't these bright little squares (1.5" finished) the cutest? I'm linking up to I Quilt@Pretty Bobbins.

  4. I love this quilt! I made one very similar from a free pattern called Briar Rose and am looking forward to making another. This time I am doing it as a leaders and enders quilt. So far I have mostly 2.5"x5" pieces sewn together, which I will then cut into 2 squares and make 4 patches. It's testing my ability to make scrappy quilts.
