A bit of Hot Cross goodness :)

I finally finished the Hot Cross quilt from the

Schnibbles Times Two book by Carrie Nelson!

So many cute patterns that I still plan to make :)

I've definitely had to embrace the imperfection

of my quilting skills and just enjoy the ride!

I know I said that I wouldn't be machine quilting

any more quilts, but this one actually wasn't that bad.

And I'm such a lucky girl that my buddy Amy

just happened to have some of the Hideaway fabric

that she wasn't planning on using and she gave it to me!

Thanks Amy!!!!

It worked out perfectly for the backing!

I just added a few of the leftover layer cake squares

to make a color blocked backing. 

All the colorful gingham prints is what really made me fall in love

with Hideaway by Moda.

I also love all the fun prints.

Just look at these little houses in the Alps!

It's hard to see but there are tiny people on there too!

Makes me think of Germany and my family there :)

And how adorable are these teenie tiny deer?

I mean seriously????

Now it's time for a bit of cross stitchin!
