Hi everyone,
I finally finished my Arkansas Crossroads quilt.
I started making the blocks for this quilt in January 2017, as part of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.
Every month I made 4 blocks in the monthly colour.
I made 5 blocks in December for a total of 49 blocks.
I added a 9 patch border.
The quilt finished at approximately 96” square.
I really love how it turned out.
I had it long arm quilted by Tammy Spencer with an all over swirl design.
It looks perfect.
It’s a really big quilt.
It’s almost too big for a queen.
I love it though! It really brightens up a room!
I hope you like it!!

It's a real beauty! Great finish. COngrats.
Wow, your scrappy quilt is amazing!
I agree with everyone else! It is amazingly beautiful! Great job. I especially like the scrappy nine patch borders!
OH so beautiful!!!
Well, I don’t like it - I LOOOOOVE it! LOL. What a great finish. And I love that you used a variety of neutrals for the background and borders. It’s a pin-worthy (and copy-the-idea-worthy) finish. Congrats!
It is beautiful. I love it. Enjoy your quilt.
Congrats on a gorgeous quilt finish! I love zooming in to get a closer look at your beautiful fabrics. It's amazing that you can get such wonderful results from simple scrappy shapes.
What a beauty, and I love your ninepatch border. I might want to copy this idea for a future year in the RSC.
WOW what a beautiful quilt!!!
Congrats!
A wonderfully colorful finish, Ariane. The nine patch border is just the right touch for framing all those blocks. Congrats on a fine finish.
Beautiful! Your Crossroads is my all time favorite so far.
Beautiful! And that border is the perfect finish!
Thanks for sharing your finish - it's beautiful! The nine patch border was a great finishing idea. I bet it's wonderful to sleep under!
Great finish on a pretty RSC quilt. Love it.
Congrats on a gorgeous finish! I remember when you were making those blocks. It's always fun to see what becomes of everyone's RSC projects.
Big quilt and wonderfully colorful. How big is each of your 16 patch? Did you snowball your corners for the crossroads section? I have a bunch of 16 patch in a drawer and seeing your project has made me want to finish mine.
I just saw this quilt in an American Patchwork & Quilting magazine. It was done with mixed scrappy colors and I really want to make it. It is on my list! I love the way your colors are used as well.
What a beautiful quilt! I love it. It seems like a great way to use up scraps.
