# 7 January finish.......

I finished the binding on the X and + quilt while I watched TV last night.  I LOVE this quilt!  I was explaining to my art quilting group that each block is a project in itself for this quilt.  You don't plan the whole quilt; you plan each block and when you have enough of them made you lay them out in a pleasing arrangement.

 
I have a piece of a Kaffe Fassett green print inserted across the backing of a Jane Sassaman print.











Two of the art quilters brought their finished trip around the world quilt tops.












This is the center of the one above.









The rail of my quilting machine is in the way to see the whole quilt from this angle but this photo showed the African fabrics the best.






Here is the full view.  I thought the students from my 2 classes might like to see some alternate fabric choices.  I don't think I'll ever get tired of seeing or making this quilt pattern.
