I have a quilt !
Finished binding this on Tuesday just as our new bed was being delivered.

This is my version of Bonnies Carolina Crossroads quilt. I started this Boxing Day last year as a mystery. You may remember once all the blocks were placed together I wasn't sure if I liked it as it was too pink. Now I love pink but I decided to add the striped green sashing to break it up a bit. I'm so glad I did as I love it. These pictures are not brilliant as the quilt is just draped over my settee as there is no-one in to hold it up for me.

It was put together quilt-as-you-go and worked very well.
It is such a great feeling to have something done completely. I am definitely hanging onto this one as most of my other quilts seem to leave home - lol !
Thanks to everyone who emailed with suggestions for helping with the dreaded migraines. They are much better this week although I am still sooooo tired.
Have a great weekend. I have a quiet one planned so may just have a play with my stash and see what happens . . .

Absolutely beautiful!!!!!!!! Great job! I really like the way that you made the border scrappy.
Gorgeous! Love your colour palette and that green sashing is perfect. Enjoy using it.
So glad you're starting to feel better.
Your quilt looks superb, really snuggly and cosy, sounds just right for the new bed on these cold nights.
Your quilt is GORGEOUS!!!! I love the changes you made to the original pattern. I'm loving the scrappy border too! Great job.
Looks great! How nice to have a new bed to go with your quilt.
It's beautiful Andrea!
It is GORGEOUS, Andrea! Exquisite. And the green is just the perfect touch. Love the outer border as well. Enjoy!
That looks stunning and the green sashing is just the thing...gives your eyes somewhere to rest. Great adaptation!
Llongyfarchiadau! What a fab quilt to use on your new bed, just in time for cold winter nights. Love the use of fabrics in the border.
Andrea! It's a Beauty! Bravo!
That quilt is absolutely WONDERFUL. If you get tired of it, I'm sure I could make a good home for it here!!! hehehe
Your quilt turned out beautiful...that green was just what it needed to make the pink sing!
I'm sorry about your migraines, I've suffered with them for years. Mine have been cut down to two or three a year (as opposed to two or three a month) since I started taking Migra-profen. It's an herbal medication that I take once a day as a preventative. It does have kava in it, so I have my liver function tested annually. It has worked wonderfully. Now if I could find something to ease the hot flashes some...
So gorgeous! I love that border; it's so great for the quilt. Great job getting it done, too :0)
Love the colors of your quilt!
I love your version! It came out beautifully, definitely a keeper.
Gorgeous!! It's definitely a keeper! The pink, purple, and greens look wonderful together!
I can see why this one is not leaving home. It's so soft looking. The green sashing adds a lot to the quilt.
Oh boy this is really lovely. I am really taken with the use of the green, too.
Glad to hear you're feeling better as well. Its such a relief to be on the healing side...
Much Love, *karendianne.

That is just stunning! I wish I'd set mine like that now; I just wonder if I would ever make it again, what a lot of work. If I do, it will be set like yours. Congratulations on a great finish.

Andrea - I recognise that green - I do believe I have a piece of it from you in my stash - it is the perfect foil for all that pink and burgundy sweetness - the quilt is just delightful you must be so pleased to get it completed - and what timing with the delivery of the new bed - well done you
Absolutely amazing Andrea!
Wow and Wow!

Doesn't it feel great to know you made this beautiful quilt with your own hands from start to finish?!?!
That is a Beautiful Quilt! Got a friend that is hooked on quilt as you go. She says it is the only way to go. I love the sashing and binding to match.

oh my word, you are in inspiration - your quilt is so beautiful. i've been quilting about 3 years now and am mostly self taught, but not nearly as good. i love to see what others can do and plan to check back at your site on a regular basis.
That is sooo lovely.
Wow Andrea, the quilt is stunning! You did a magnificent job.

Absolutely gorgeous!! I think you picked your colours well as you have lots of contrast for the star points and rings - wonderful :)
Holey moley you have 45 comments! Lol* I suppose that is confirmation you've made a fabulous quilt!!! I adore it, I think this is my favorite I've seen of yours yet. :)
I love how the green breaks up all the pink. Without it I think this would be too busy. It is beautiful.
That turned out great!
The green sashing is perfect!
Oh boy -- 50 comments!! But the quilt certainly deserves 50 comments - it is a lovely quilt!!! Great job!
Beautiful! Really looks great -- and the green was a brilliant addition. It both tones down and sets off the pink.
It looks fantastic! You must be so pleased that it is finished and that it turned out so great!
Oh, Andrea, this is definitely "Oh Yes!!" It is absolutely fabulous!!! You have done such a great job! The fabrics you chose are perfect for this quilt! There are quite a few variants shown of it through blogland since Bonnie's mystery, but I think this is the prettiest one I have seen! Now enjoy your quilt!!!
So many have gone before me, but I still have to say that is fabulous and the green was an inspired touch!
Love the selvedge work as well, Tracey

A gorgeous quilt and the green sashing is perfect .... love it!
What a beautiful quilt. WOW
I love your quilt--all of your quilts are gorgeous. I want to try the quilt as you go method. Did you use a pattern? If so, where did you get it?
If not, I surely wish I knew what you did. The pink quilt with green sashing is stunning.
Oh it turned out soooo wonderful!
I am way behind in blogs but nearly caught up........had to leave a comment on this post.........your quilt is beautiful.........
This is beautiful. I really want to be able to machine quilt big quilts but really struggle on my janome. I am going to have to try doing one quilt as you go. I too love hand sewing binding down. Just need to decide which quilt to make now. It is a really great tutorial, thankyou for taking the time to post it. Jan x
