Cross Roads: Dad’s Shirts Memory Quilt Top Finish

Hi, I am happy to share another memory quilt top finish made from our Dad’s plaid shirts. This one is called Cross Roads and was made using Sherri McConnell’s (A Quilting Life) pattern Cross Roads.

This quilt will go to one of our Nieces.

Here is Sherri’s original version of the Cross Roads quilt.

To start this quilt, I had a bag of 320 HSTs in 20 colors from many of my previous memory quilts that I had been saving and I was able to use a 2.5 inch Bloc-Loc ruler to trim them to the size I needed for this quilt.

Here is a sample layout of two Cross Roads blocks. I was able to cut the needed blue strips for the plus centers from a single leftover chambray work shirt.

I love to be able to do as much chainpiecing as possible when constructing a quilt.

This is my assembled top without borders.

This is my completed Cross Roads flimsy. It was a good use of leftover HSTs from making other memory quilts. I did enlarge the white borders but otherwise followed how Sherri made her quilt. This makes 16 memory quilts.

Thank you for stopping by my blog.

Happy Sewing,

Shelley
