I've had these fabrics for quite a few years. I'm pretty sure I bought them online at some point and 2 years ago I decided it was time to get them into a quilt.
I settled on a Plus or Cross quilt because I've never seen one I didn't like. I paired it with this wood fabric from my stash
thinking it'd make the crosses look like they were hanging on a barn wall:
I cut 5 squares for each cross
I used this dark brown print
and pieced 3 crosses for the back:
I didn't have any more of the wood print so I just pulled something close from my stash for the binding and Jackie quilted these fun stars with a swirl in the center across it:
I didn't use a pattern - just looked at a lot of plus quilts on Pinterest:
It's 58"x62"
and Skeet has given his seal of approval even though he's a tad sad because DH left without him:

Love the quilt!!! Glad to see Skeet again!!!
Thats a nice quilt Karin. Hope you all are doing ok.
I really like that one!
What a great finish!
Nice quilt. Great colors. Riley Blake has a Cowboy line out called Behind Chutes, I think. It made me think of you.
Nice finish. Poor, Skeet! His ears say it all.
Poor Skeet!
Great job on the Plus quilt and the back too. ;^)
I like it! I started one probably 10-ish years ago and it got put up and forgotten. I got it out last year and started positioning and said GAH! Forget it! My pieces were 2 1/2" and would've taken forever so I decided the 2 1/2" squares would go into other stuff. Is mega cooking done for a bit?
Skeet knows the best seat in the yard is on a quilt!
Beautiful quilt and I love your pieced back. :)
