Here are some pictures of my scrappy cross quilt... quilted.
The background is a bright yellow linen that I cannot get to translate well in photos. My specialty is quilts and as much I think I can do everything, clearly I have much to learn when it comes to successfully using a camera. Flash shows the colour, no flash shows the quilting... you can see what I opted for.

 |
| the texture of linen is delicious |
 |
| thread is variegated |
 |
| I heard modern quilts did not allow for variegated thread... no need to remind everyone what happens when I hear a quilt "rule" |

The quote is: "I am not afraid. I was meant to do this." Joan of Arc (apparently, though who can know for sure - being a history major causes all sorts of untold mental grief).
