72"x81" 
Hand quilting
The Crisscross quilt is done though I have to attach a hanging sleeve and label which are currently ready to go. I quilted by machine in the ditch along the central two lines of the block and then outlined the stars and the corner triangles in perle thread by hand which I much enjoyed.
I cut the binding 3.5" wide and attached it double folded. It's different to the Cosmos quilt wwhich has a binding more like a narrow cord. This and the Cosmos quilt were completed in the same week. I feel as though progress is being made.

Hi Mary, This is Jo, who maybe you remember our quick meeting at the closing of the 2019 Festival of Quilts as I rushed for my coach pick up.???
I am so often inspired by many of your makes but I really, especially, love this Crisscross quilt and would love to make one for myself to bring myself back to quality quilt making. During lockdown I only made simple quilts, which didn't need any concentration (but it saved my sanity). Usually delving into my Liberty stash so they were still worth making. I have searched the net without success including Jan Hassard's sites. Can you possibly, please, help me to acquire a pattern, maybe a book, for your quilt?

I am not looking for a freebie and will willingly order and pay but do hope you can give me a link.
Let's look forward to getting our quilting meetings , exhibitions and courses back to what they were now things are gradually improving.
Hoping to hear from you and many thanks if you can help.
Best wishes Jo
