AN "X" WALLHANGING

I spent some of my weekend working on this cute wallhanging.  I used mostly Aunt Grace fabric with a few Feedsack prints.  Unlike most traditonal quilts, the X's are not blocks but are pieced row by row on the diagonal.  This takes a bit of planning before you begin to sew, but it's well worth it.  It measures 28" x 28"" and will be one of the "small quilts" I plan to use to decorate a wall in the den.  It seems Horatio likes it, but if I don't move it soon, he'll have it down on the seat of the rocking chair and it will be covered in red fur!
