Simple Cross Wall Hanging - Finish Q1

Well, I accomplished my first goal for the quarter.  I think I should always make quilting goals -- they are so much more fun to accomplish than other goals.  :)

In our stairwell there is a space where I have decided to hang small quilts.  So far I only have summer and fall quilts -- well, now I have a January/Spring/whatever-I-want-to-call-it quilt.  After all the Christmas decor came down, I was craving something clean and simple.

I used all fabric from my stash, which is always a good thing.  And I attempted Spiral quilting for the second time.  It looks great from the front, but all that turning of the quilt caused the backing to get some folds that I didn't notice until it was too late.  Well, not too late, but late enough that I wasn't going to pick them out of a wall hanging!  They are on the back after all.  I have got to do a better job of basting -- my least favorite quilt task!  I usually use basting spray, this one I used fusible batting.  I have been avoiding pin basting, but it would probably work better.
