Crossroads quilt is on the Bed!

Just got the binding put on this and put it on the bed. So nice to have it finished instead of laying out on my living room floor. It fits perfect on my KSize bed.

The quilting didn't show on the first pictures, so I flipped it over to show what all the gal did. I'm so pleased with this quilt. She even bragged that my 9-patches were square....imagine that?!

I call these lazy-daisies...I'm sure there's a technical name for them, but don't they look good in the 9-patches?!
Cross-hatching and stippling on the outer two borders finished it off. It lays flat and not a pucker one in it....first time for sure! My quilter wrote "ELEPHANT QUILT" on my ticket. Glad I don't have to feed that elephant!

What an accomplishment for ANY quilt to be made king Sized, and with all these pieces, YOU deserve I ribbon for ... fortitude!!! It turned out to be a GREAT elephant! LOL

~ Looks fantastic ~

I can't remember - but have you counted the number of cut pieces for this beauty? The number count should be part of the history you maintain on quilts (at least in my way of thinking).
