Cross Quilt for Melanie & Chris

I wish I could take credit for this beautiful design, but I saw it on Pinterest with the lable "Prayer for Peace." It said the pattern was coming out soon. Well, I didn't need a wall sized quilt, I wanted it to be bed sized, so, using their picture and designed the quilt fit my needs.

My apologies for the lighting. I wanted to take a picture outside, but it's been dark and rainy. Even when it's not raining, it's muddy outside and I have no good place to take the photo without getting that bright white dirty.

This quilt I made this past month for my good friends, Melanie and Chris, both priests at their church, who are moving away this next week. I’ve had the good fortune to watch their two little boys for the last year plus. They are good, caring people.

The back was signed by members of their church and my family.

I’ve seen so much symbolism is the design. This is one I enjoyed making. Here are some close up on the quilting.

One must always have a label for the quilt. This quilt I entitled "I'll Go Where You Want Me to Go" inspired by a hymn (photo below) which speaks of which speaks of following the path that God has for you in what you say, what you do and where you go.
