You've inspired me again, Eddie! I did a cross-stitch quilt years ago; the face was pre-printed on a whole cloth. I realize now it deserves a lot more quilting on the background than I did. I'm going to get it back from my daughter and see if I can do it justice!

Beautiful blocks, and I like that you kept the sashing simple so that it doesn't compete. Your quilting is really nice too.

Eddie,

Your color choice for the sashing is absolutely gorgeous and compliments the blocks to a high degree. Of course your quilting is incredible. You have done really well since you purchased your longarm which, if I remember, was not all that long ago.

it's beautiful - the cross stitch has been made to shine by your excellent FMQ. I hope after the work Mom put in all those years ago and all yours the quilt will be used or at least on show.
