Serendipity Charity Quilt and Cross Stitch Along - Finished

Hello Friends! Today is the Backing Pattern Release for the annual Fat Quarter Shop Charity Quilt Along  PLUS I'm sharing my fully finished Serendipity Cross Stitch - I LOVE it!!! Here is a peek ... so keep on reading ;) 

Over $80,000 has been raised for Make A Wish of Central and South Texas! I absolutely love the generosity of Fat Quarter Shop and am glad that I able to quilt and stitch along!

Serendipity Backing Pattern Release:

• Quilt Pattern (HERE)

I'm quilting with Smol designed by Kimberly Kight with Speckled designed by Rashida Coleman-Hale for Ruby Star Society / Moda Fabrics. 

• 1/2 yard bundle - Smol designed by Kimberly Kight for Ruby Star Society 
• 5&1/2 yards Background Fabric: Speckled Metallic White Gold designed by Rashida Coleman-Hale for Ruby Star Society
• Backing Fabric - Smol designed by Kimberly Kight for Ruby Star Society 

I like taking the extra time to piece my quilt backs because now I have a double-sided quilt!!!  I love that both quilt sides are fabulous and match! 

I chose to sew my quilt label into the flower block.  PS - I pay for a  Sweetwater label membership as I love having personalized labels mailed to me each month. 

I seriously love my Serendipity Quilt so much! Sampler quilts are always so fun to make as I love the block variety! 

I really love how I used a light fabric for the quilt front backing and the opposite with a navy fabric for the quilt back - so fun! Here is a fun side by side look!

Serendipity Cross Stitch

• Cross Stitch Pattern (HERE) 

I wanted my Cross Stitch piece to match my quilt so I chose coordinating  DMC floss.
