WhooHoo! I finished the 9 Patch Crossing quilt top that I started last year at our guild retreat in Central Oregon. It is entirely made from stash fabric - mostly scraps and tons of swap nickels with the exception of the outside border.
This year, after the guild retreat, I stopped by the Madras quilt shop that was going out of business - bought way too much fabric, but one piece was the perfect border for this quilt!
It is one of the nicest things I've done, so I think it will go out for long arm quilting. I think an all over pattern that would swirl through all the angles and boxes would be good with something on the border. It's really a double sized quilt that would totally cover a twin bed.
This is a close up of one of the corners. Still kind of hard to see the pattern of the border fabric, but the little flowers are the exact color of the inner border. They were meant for each other!
