WIP Wednesday: Crossroad Blocks
If I'm going to have a shot at finishing some UFOs this month I have to get some flimsies made ASAP. Yesterday Elsa helped me organize my stack of Crossroads blocks that I made during RSC13.
She voted for a "girlie" arrangement featuring pink for the first set of blocks and I think she had very good taste. These blocks make such an interesting layout when they are assembled.
Now we have a more masculine set on the design wall ready to sew together. I quite like the chains of color created in these tops and I'm more convinced than ever that these will be my go-to scrap busting block for many years. I just love them!
I will have enough blocks for 4 tops using a 4x5 block layout. These are 12" finished blocks and my Project Linus chapter prefers donations around 48" x 60". My plan is to get all 4 to flimsy stage and get the backings made this week. Then I hope to finish 2 of them next week. The word is FOCUS!

you can do it
ReplyDeleteLove the girlie arrangement.
ReplyDeleteFun layouts!
ReplyDeleteBoy you are an all or nothing gal....you ARE focused and things are looking fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteThese are pretty fantastic! I've been looking for a design where I could hand-quilt something fun, and these white squares would be perfect. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWow! That's a lot of scrap blocks. They look like they would be fun to quilt. I would be so tempted to do something fun in those big white squares. Good luck getting all four finished!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are really focusing! Gorgeous quilt tops!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the combinations. They are all great.
ReplyDeleteone is warm and the other is cool - very nice. I maybe should have done the same thing with my pigtail blocks instead of trying to make one big quilt. So - a good idea for the future.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great looking block, just the thing for all those scraps we seem to have.
ReplyDeleteWould you be able to share the cut sizes to make one block please?
Gorgeous! I love that block! Good job on the arrangement, Elsa! LOL.
ReplyDeleteElsa has very good taste.
ReplyDeleteCrossroads is a great pattern, and your look terrific! I love the way you have arranged both groups of blocks.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great pattern and your quilt is lovely.
ReplyDeleteGreat tops! You're right - it's a good block for a fun layout. Good for scrap busting, too!
ReplyDeleteOh, wow! What great tops those make! I love your color choices.
ReplyDeleteGreat pattern. Great quilts! Love your colors!
ReplyDeleteThey look fabulous! I must see if our quilting group has some white in stash!
ReplyDeleteI love these layouts. Your blocks were the inspiration behind one of my Christmas quilts at the end of 2013. I used the disappearing 9 patch, but in this same layout. It's good to see you working on this.
ReplyDeleteGreat layouts...love that you created those gendered colorways! Stitch on.
ReplyDeleteThose quilts are beautiful, I love how different they look just by changing a color or two and the layout. Good luck with getting them all completed. www.crazyforpurple.com
ReplyDeleteLove your quilts! AND your assistant is beautiful - the purrfect companion in a quilt studio.
ReplyDeleteI love this block. I always forget about it. I am glad you keep reposting to help me remember.
ReplyDeleteThese both look great. Glad I don't have to pick a favorite.
ReplyDeleteYour quilts are great! Well done! Project Linus is a great organization to donate to. They will love your quilts!
