I think this started out as the Spring 2015 Mystery Quilt for a Cause by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.heatherspencedesigns.com\">Heather Spence Designs<\/a>. I got the top done pretty quickly, but then I couldn&#8217;t figure out how I wanted to quilt it. I knew I wanted to use red thread, but that was it. I finally sent it off to Robin at <a href=\"http:\/\/ormondbeachquilts.com\">Ormond Beach Quilts<\/a> for her to work her magic. The quilting on this one is so pretty!! I decided that I wanted to do a flanged binding as well to help bring out the red quilting. I used <a href=\"http:\/\/karensquiltscrowscardinals.blogspot.com\/2015\/11\/tutorial-mitered-and-flanged-machine.html\">a wonderful tutorial<\/a> by Karen Miller at Redbird Quilt Co. The tutorial has a ton of pictures and great instructions, so it was so easy to follow.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the finished quilt:<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"217\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/quiltsbylaurel.com\/blog\/2016\/06\/30\/finished-double-cross-mystery-quilt\/img_2702\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/quiltsbylaurel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/IMG_2702.jpg?fit=2446%2C2446\" data-orig-size=\"2446,2446\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 6&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1467308270&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.15&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;32&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00161812297735&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Finished!!
