My Arkansas Crossroads Variations quilt top progress


Hi everyone!!

I’ve been working on my Arkansas Crossroads Variations quilt top. I made the blocks for this top during the Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2017.

I finally got all the blocks sewn together today. This has 49 blocks in a 7x7 layout. I made 4 blocks a month for 12 months, plus one to give me 49.


I want this top a bit bigger. So I will make some low volume 9-patch squares for the border to finish the top, I’m going to start those tomorrow.

I’m really loving the look of this top so far. I hope you like it too!

You will have a really nice wonderfully colorful quilt when you are finished with it. Are you going for queen or king sized?

Such a pretty quilt. Some low-volume patches around the outside will be a perfect frame!

Yes, I do like it too. Very much in fact. A 9 patch border sounds like a great idea. Enjoy! ;^)

I love it! It is funny...I am making these blocks for a quilt too but the pattern is from a magazine. I had no idea what the block name was but now I do.
