The weather sometimes doesn’t match up with the seasons ….. but in two more weeks Spring Equinox will be here & what better time to start make something cute with this yummy Shabby Strawberry fabric by Emily Hayes for Penny Rose Fabrics.

The pattern I used for this quilt is called Cross Stitch by Gigis Thimble ….. and as a stitcher ….I just HAD to make a quilt by the same name.

I added in the sweetest yellow gingham & a few solids because they played so well with Shabby Strawberry.

And ….. finally red Swiss dot for the backing & binding. Yes …. you read that right. Sometimes, I like to use the same fabric for the backing and binding. There’s just something so simplistic about it.
