    I love the crossword quilt. It must have taken a long time to complete.

    I have used this method for some time and love it. First saw it demonstrated at at quilt show a few years ago. It makes it so easy to get all the pieces placed in just the right spot. Here are a couple of quilts I have done using this method. They are among my favorites.
