Scrappy Crossroads Quilt

 It's beautiful here in the winter in Arizona  :)

Even with a little cloud cover outside today

it's still warm and inviting.

I just finished

Scrappy Crossroads

 Pattern with Free Tutorial

by my friend Lori Holt

of Bee In My Bonnet

can be found 

HERE

 A great way to use up scraps!

I knew I saved those little itty bits of leftovers for a reason.

 A total of 

1440

2 1/2 inch scrappy squares 

were used in this project

 For the X part of the block

I used

American Made Brand Cotton

Dark Turquoise

It's the first time I have used this solid

and it was wonderful to work with  !

High thread count and solid to the touch.

 Hey, I remember some of these fabrics

from quilts I made long ago  :)

 And these too!

A trip down memory lane.

 The actual block 

measures 16 1/2 inches unfinished

 You can make the quilt any size you desire.

I opted to make it Twin Size

by putting 

5 rows across

and 

6 rows down.

 I even used some of Lori's fabrics in the scraps

Remember her first fabric line Sew Cherry?

And Millie's Closet ?

Thank you Lori for such a great Tutorial  !!

I feel like I now have a Free Quilt

I'm even considering being brave and

trying to quilt this one myself.

We'll see.
