    Like everyone else, I love it and the scrappy look! Where ever did you find the patience to cut up that many squares?

    Thanks everyone for the comments! I had purchased about 200 of the 2" squares, so I only really cut 376! It seems like nothing now! LOL! I would love to have this quilted in a funky meander or puzzle design, but I'm too new for that. Any suggestions for quilting? Is my meander idea too busy for the business of the quilt? I'm still so green, I don't know what works.

    What a pleasing quilt. You just have to keep looking at all the different fabric in the squares. (If you get tired of it, I'll gladly give it a "home".

    I think I see a big order for strips cut at 2" through DNL fabrics....... ok, I know it is cheating, but oh my, over 500 squares? :lol: :lol: :lol:

    The colors are great--I love your quilt top. Just now made copies of your pictures for my "great ideas" wall board. Thanks for sharing.

    Deb,

    Here's the block pattern: http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art23986.asp

    Also, if you Google Arkansas Crossroads Quilt, there are several sites to look at.

    Thanks for the compliment!
