Hooray! It’s pattern release day! These days are always my favorite, it’s full of excitement, fun pictures and the payoff of a job well done—not just for me, but for all of the pattern testers that worked hard to get this pattern to where it is today. Today, I am pleased to present to you my latest quilt design, Crossroads. This is my first pattern that isn’t a “one size fits all.” The pattern includes instructions for a baby, throw, or twin size! But that’s enough chatter—let’s take a look at all the fun photos and details of Crossroads!
Crossroads is being featured, along with some other fantastic releases from amazing designers, on the Swhetty Bettie’s Blog!

Here’s the overall—isn’t it just lovely in it’s natural habitat?
I think the real charm of this pattern is the simplicity! Not only is it easy to make, but using only two fabrics can really create a dramatic look! If you need help choosing those two colors, make sure to read up on using a color wheel!
I initially created this pattern for my friend who was expecting a baby. She and her husband decided to torture us all & not find out the gender! So, the original intent was for this quilt to be gender neutral, straightforward, and modern. After creating it, I realized that this baby sized quilt lends itself so well to all sorts of uses!
It makes a great boy’s or men’s quilt because it is not too cluttered and the crosses create a strong geometry. But, if you switch up the fabrics, it can be hopelessly girly! So, I made this pattern available for Baby, Throw, and Twin sizes. All of these sizes have been tested to assure a perfect pattern, every time!

I love the contrast created in Katie’s version of Crossroads—the small prints make this quilt interesting close up and far away!
I love the blues that Kelly used in her Crossroads quilt—apparently there’s some dispute on who this quilt belongs to: Kelly, her hubby, or her daughter!
