It was my pleasure to make this large lap quilt as a farewell gift for my awesome workmate of the past 14 years, Wendy Weir, as she moves on from classroom teaching at Edendale Primary to be a special needs support teacher for a number of schools in Gore.
I had saved a link to this Crossroads pattern by Melissa Corry of the Happy Quilting blog (on either Pintrest or Instagram, can't find it now, so Googled it LOL!) and I knew it would be perfect to use with this black and white Riley Blake 'Delilah' charm pack that has been in my stash for a few years.
I added some extra squares of black and white prints from my stash, and for the repeated 'corners' of each block I used yardage from Spotlight. It measures 63" square.
(The photos aren't great as I had to take them early in the morning as that was the only chance I had to get my handy helper to hold it up for me.)
The backing is a really cool bubbles kind of print (also from Spotlight) that gives a surprise of colour on the back...
Linking up with Wendy's (a different Wendy!) New Year Peacock Party - hi everyone!
