I made this quilt as a gift for my husband who is training as a candidate in the National Ski Patrol. He always comments how hand quilting is superior so of course I had to hand quilt this!
The design is based on the NSP logo that patrollers wear while on patrol; white cross in a field of red. I needed to make it more complicated than that so my white cross is made up of dozens of postage stamp sized white crosses. I also added in a few red on red crosses within the field of red. Nothing about those tiny crosses was simple. I had to line up every last piece before sewing it together to make sure each cross was completed in the correct fabric. Because I just had to make it scrappy. There’s really no other way.
I hope he enjoys it because it was certainly a labor of love!
