Finished Or Not Friday - Cross My Heart QAL


I am joining with Alycia at Quilty Gal for Finished Or Not Friday. This is a definite "Or Not", since all I have done is cut the pieces!


I first read about this quilt-along on Wendy Sheppard's story on Instagram. She is @ivory_spring on IG and blogs at Ivory Spring. The pattern, Cross My Heart, is available in the February 2023 American Patchwork and Quilting magazine, and the QAL is sponsored by All People Quilt.

I decided on a dark background, so this pretty eggplant fabric from Joann's is the star of the show.

This quilt will be for my daughter-in-law who loves purples. She was recently diagnosed with a carcinoma in one of her breasts and is waiting for another biopsy for two more areas of concern. I would love to get this quilt to her before any surgery takes place, as a kind of prayer/comfort quilt.
