I'm not cross about this Friday finish!

Purple and Aqua Crosses

60 by 84 inches

Machine pieced and quilted

After a long haul, I finished the Grecian Cross quilt

and promptly gave it to my niece 

as a belated high school graduation gift.

A year ago, she told me she wanted a purple and aqua quilt.

I didn't think I had the stash to make a whole quilt,

but after realizing many of my Kaffe Fassett and DS Quilts fabrics 

had aqua, and often purple,

I managed quite fine. 

A few quilting friends passed on bits and pieces

so in the end, I only purchased the white background fabric.

My niece R. with her new quilt.

The back is also a Kaffe print,

purchased for $5/metre at the local Fabricland.

When I didn't have enough left for the binding,

I went back for another metre, and had to buy it at full price. Oops.

If you double click the photos, you can see the huge variety of prints in it,

and my very loose interpretation of purple and aqua. 

I was sorry to see this one leave my house,

but I'm happy the new owner loves it.

I'm linking up with Sarah and Lorna at TGIFF and other Friday finishers.
