A finished quilt: Arkansas Crossroads

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!!

  11. 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!

  22. 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.
