80" x 90"
I had a request for a purple cross quilt in my shop. This one is a full sized quilt. Purple must be a lot of peoples favorite color as I've made 3 purple cross quilts. I used over 20 different fabrics to give this such a scrappy look.
Here is my first attempt on the design wall. It was looking a little too pink purple so I took out the offending print. You can see on the cross where it's gone now.
Normally I would use a solid on the back of a bed quilt, but she is giving this quilt to be used on a couch and she wanted it to be big. It is definitely big! I found this beautiful purple print at Marshall's Dry Goods. I love their prices and the wide backings are pretty nice.
Here's a close up of the backing fabric. I actually ordered 3 different purple prints so I could choose the right color. I like this print and will use it again, hopefully in a different color.

Please be patient while waiting for me to respond to your comments as Blogger is not playing nice anymore. I'm trying not to miss any!
ReplyDeleteShannon, does anyone know why the Blogger comments aren't emailing to the blog owners anymore? I'm on Blogger too and I'm FREAKING OUT because suddenly I'm not getting notifications and I can't figure out how to respond to any of the comments anymore!
DeleteI sent you an email. If you didn't receive it please let me know.
DeleteReplying is going to be a struggle, til they work out the kinks or we get used to doing it their way! "smile"
ReplyDeleteWhat is "their way," Judy? I can't find anything in their help files and I didn't get any notifications about a change. Very confused and frustrated with Blogger right now!
DeleteThis is beautiful, Shannon! Congrats on a great finish!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty! I've also seen lots of these sorts of quilts in purple! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks! Funny how this quilt comes in purple. I think I’d pick turquoise and green!
DeleteCongrats on another fabulous finish!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! This is an easy and enjoyable pattern to work on!
DeleteI really don't like having to reply to comments this way, but I hope you are all getting notified of my responses one way or another. Hopefully they will get this fixed.
ReplyDeleteIt turned out beautifully!
ReplyDeletePlease let me know what size blocks you used on the cross quilt. I have someone dear to me that I would love to make this for. Or if there is a pattern I could buy. Love it! Just beautiful
