Grey cross - a progress update

The grey quilt is progressing well. I decided to keep it fairly simple with squares but still wanted to have a pattern so I decided on a plus quilt.






And this makes perfect sense in many ways as my uncle is a Veterinarian which means he is in the medical profession. And as the red cross is a symbol of medics I thought I could use this for a quilt pattern. You see cross = plus sign....it might be a bit of a stretch in terms of imagination....



But the most important thing is that I love the layout and the pattern. Whilst sewing I added another one of two fabrics for diversity like the Japanese grey tulip print you can see in the middle of the above photo and some Kona in ash.



I am off for some intense quilting.....
