Scraptastic

One of the projects I was anxious to work on at retreat was my cross-stitch blocks, and happily, I finished all that I needed for the quilt pattern I had drafted up.
Unfortunately, I didn't have enough background fabric to finish the top, but once home, I divided the pattern into a grid of nine 20" "big blocks" and at least started on what I could.
I'm going pretty random with the color placement of the crosses, so hopefully that works out ok. But considering the crosses came straight from my scrap bin, it seems fair enough.

Linking up with Scraptastic Tuesday at she can quilt and mrs sew & sow.
