This autumn, I don't have a new quilt reveal to show you so I thought I would share one of my favourite quilts from the last few months with you.
This is my Across the Sea quilt - from the quiltalong I hosted with my good friend Jennifer. This was the first quiltalong I've hosted and I really enjoyed it and was so thrilled to see everyone's interpretation of our pattern.What makes this quilt even more special is that it is made for my new niece and is ready to be delivered next weekend at her Christening.
Jennifer designed the front of this quilt - the cross blocks are simple and striking and the scrappy border really ties it together, I love it!
I designed a "floating crosses" back pattern which lines up with the front crosses to make quilting it even easier.
My quilt was made mostly with some FQs from "Just Wing It" by Momo for Moda, with some additional fabrics added in to vary the colour palette. I love how colourful it is, and that is is nice and girlie without being too pink!
I free motion quilted it myself with a meandering stipple.
And its bound in a lovely small scale red and pink apple print. Perfect!
I do love this quilt and hope you do too. If you're interested in making it, the instructions are all available in the Quiltalong page tab at the top of my blog and let me know if you have any questions! Its suitable for all ranges of quilters, even total beginners and there is lots more info in our Flickr group too.

oh - every detail of this quilt is just lovely. Nicely done. I like it ALOT!
Love the plus pattern, and that combined with the fabrics you chose is just lovely.
I love this quilt so much and it has a special place in my heart because it allowed me to create my own in the QAL. While mine is full of imperfections, I totally and utterly love it and yours and Jennifer`s design was inspired. Thanks so much Sarah.

Still love seeing this one. It's gorgeous and I love that you have the patience to do those double borders (or sashing). They really make the quilt!

I just loved this quilt, not least because it allowed me to make my very first quilt using the QAL :o)
Fabulous! :)
What a fun quilt! I don't know how you lined the back up with the front....love the colors as well.
I love it! I was avoiding the festival today since I spent too much time drooling for hours, but of course, you post popped up in my reader. The festival is so addictive!

I love seeing this quilt again and for the first time I really noticed the binding fabric, it is really cute! The quilt is wonderful, the QAL instructions are great and soon I will get my quilt actually quilted, seeing this one is a good motivator.
It is wonderful Sarah- just love it and am entering mine it the BQF this time too.
Hope you are doing well. I know you've been so busy at work. Hopefully things will smooth out soon!

This is definitely one of my favorite quilts of yours, Sarah, so glad you chose to share it!!! You and Jennifer did a fabulous job hosting your quilt-along :)
Love it! And, yes, the scrappy border really sets it off!

I love this quilt! Definitely one of my favorites of the QAL. Perfect for a little girl, and I love that it isn't too pink! Excellent fabrics and I love your binding choice!
I do love this quilt :)
I absolutely love your quilt. You found your mojo
This was an absolute must for you to put in the festival. The fact that you and Jennifer got such a wonderful group of people working with your design and making fabulous quilts for themselves is the added bonus. Love your colours and love that I made one of these too!
It is beautiful!
Still lovely! :)
So pretty! Great quilt!
Love it! The back is particularly adorable.

Still a great quilt - and using some of my favorite momo fabric! =) Thanks for sharing it (again!)
