This past week I finished a plus or cross quilt for a new baby girl. I wanted to try this pattern because I have seen it floating around, and I really like the way it shows off fabrics. Each of the squares finishes at 4.5". It is approximately 36" x 45", and it is a good crib size quilt. It was a lot of fun pulling out different fabrics from my stash, and using some scraps up to finish it. I really tried to balance low, medium, and high tones with this one, and play with different patterns, while trying to create a "girl" quilt that wasn't pastels. I am sending it off to the recipient this week, and I hope she likes it!
