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!
