Mosaic Crosses

Here is a new finish!  Lifetime #52 and #8 for this year. Mosaic Crosses....



This is my first quilt made from batiks. This was a joint effort with me and my sister.  We made it for our niece who is getting married next month.

A little of the quilting. I didn't quilt on the crosses. I did a loopy meander in the white areas and sort of flower in the black.
 
 
 
A small type of feather in the borders. I used  a buttery yellow thread in the scrappy border. It was the only color I had in stock that sort of blended without being too obvious.  I couldn't get the invisible thread to work - tension was off and it kept breaking.
 

 
 
And the back...
