Another Cross Quilt

I seem to be working on Cross quilts.  I made the center cross block a year or so ago as well as several others using Jim's shirts and had not made them into a quilt.  So playing with some fabric strips came up with a wonky quilt that I like.  The crosses in the center are all needle turn applique. The fabric strips are all various shades of aged muslin.  I'll need to label the strips so I sew them in order.

Finished!

So thrilled to have sewed the binding on today and call a finish to Jim's Cross Quilt.  Seemed appropriate to have finished it today. Just had to take a picture of it outside on the old corral fence in the snow.

I got side tracked taking the pictures when I saw mountain lion prints in the snow.  Had to track it a bit to see where he or she was heading, the tracks lead to the upper meadow.  The tracks started in the ravine which is behind the corral, Jim always called it predator alley.  A spot for predators to watch and wait for a potential kill.  I never go back there now without a pistol to use in case I need to fire a warning shot.
