Good day, and welcome to my blog. I had a finish a few weeks ago, but no time to write about it. It's Wednesday, and time to share.
This is a pattern I am calling Criss Cross Stars, though there may be another name for it (Air Castles?). The 9 inch blocks are made of real feedsack material and vintage cottons from the 1930's and 1940's. The off white fabric is new.
Wide sashing, no border. A throw sized quilt, though it is on my bed now. I had it quilted by a local long arm quilter who always does a wonderful job. The next photo is a close up showing the vintage fabric but also the quilting:
A thin cotton batting was used. I am glad to have this bound and labeled.

It's lovely, Viridian! What a perfect patchwork pattern for showcasing those wonderful vintage feed sack fabrics! I love that you have so much white space around the stars so each fabric can be appreciated individually. Very special!
Criss Cross Stars is a pretty quilt and those fabrics are amazing. You're lucky to have a good longarmer close by.
Such a lovely way to show off vintage fabrics. The off white background fabric gives it an antique vibe.
I like your name for it!! Those vintage fabrics are gorgeous - and set by that cream - so beautiful!!
