Have you seen my Christmas Crossing quilt? I know it's either a little late for Christmas 2023, or super early for Christmas 2024, but here it is!
Disclaimer: The products used to make this quilt were given to me by Island Batik and industry sponsors.
This quilt is on the cover of the November/December 2023 issue of Love of Quilting magazine. The pattern is tucked inside on pages 12 ~ 16.
If you can't find a copy at your local quilt shop, you can order one through the Quilting Daily website.
To make the Christmas Crossing quilt, I used a variety of Island Batik fabrics in red, green, white, and a yummy multi colored fabric. Some of the fabrics I used are from the Chromatic collection.
It's a merry little quilt, finishing at 35-1/2" x 35-1/2". Here it is still in progress with only the red border sewn on. As you can see, it looks great with just one border as well. If you needed a smaller quilt or table topper, you could stop here.
This is the completed quilt top with the white and green borders added.
I quilted an all over loopy meander with King Tut thread in Temple.
I used Hobbs Premium Cotton for the batting ~ my favorite.
Everything was stitched together with Schmetz needles.

The backing is Gecko from Island Batik's Glorious Greens collection.
I matched my binding to the outer border.
