Crosscut Showing One

With many folks still working on finishing up their Crosscut projects, I realized that waiting until next week to share them all just might overfill a blog post. So I'll begin today and show off some of the very first finishes.

I'm going to let these Crosscut pieces speak for themselves, as they each can do so well. But do watch for the ways the makers made this quilt-along their own. Whether it be in block or project size, fabrics chosen, quilting, the type of end product, or even using a different block entirely to experiment with the piece/cut/re-piece technique, it's cool to see the uniqueness in each. Inspiration is one thing, all well and good, but seeing where folks go with it is the very best reward.

Awesome, right? Stay tuned for more!

    They're all stunning! It's fun to see so much diversity from one pattern, each has its own personality. I wanted so badly to join this one, but timing just didn't allow it. So I've got it in my queue, hopefully to revisit another time.

    Love how all of these look so different although they are made using the same method - making the panel into a pillow is a great idea!

    I enjoyed participating in this quilt along so much! One of the most fun parts was seeing all the different ways that people interpreted your directions - colors, designs, and finishing. Thanks again for inspiring all of us!

    The QAL has given a platform for many makers to boldly go where they might not otherwise adventure. You're so good at leading the way - thanks. I love the variety

    It was such a fast quilt along and still it was doable with the easy steps. I had a great time and for sure will make more cross cut examples. Thank you for this wonderful experience. Your triple zip qal was my first qal and this was the quickest. I am already waiting for the next.

    It was pure fun being a part of this QAL! Your instructions were so clear and easy to follow, I hope that this wasn't the last QAL on your blog! Looking at all the beautiful quilts you can really be proud of what we've learned about modern quilting! Thank you so much, Debbie! Yours, Martina
