The Red Cross Quilt

I started with this wonderful embroidery and made it a focal point...I adored that teeny tiny cross too.
I planned something totally different when I first thought about this project, but it evolved into this and I'm pretty happy with it.
I had another bee make crosses for me as well, and of course they got all mixed up in the process. I'm working on making this two sided with another cross design on the back.
Thanks so much for all the unique crosses you made for me. Not done, but at least it's in progress.

Great job on the quilt, and I am sure it will look amazing when finished. :)

I'm so happy you like the embroidery! I figured my literal take on your request would be your least favorite, so thank you for being pleased with my cheekiness!

Wow. That is amazing! I just released a patriotic quilt pattern as part of a new collection I am working on. I am glad to see others working on Red Cross quilts.
