Ritzy Cracker Quilt

This quilt I made a few weeks ago, and it is all mine! I have always slept with a blanket...I have been through approximately 3 blankets in my lifetime, so this makes number 4.

I used the Ritzy Cracker tutorial from the Moda Bake Shop. It calls for 2 charm packs, but I wanted it a little bit longer, so I added a few extra blocks. I used Hometown by Sweetwater, plus a couple of fabrics I had in my stash. The binding is Kona Ruby and the back is Kona Coal.

I think this ended up measuring about 48" by 64". It has been through several washes already.
I quilted it with a loopy meandering and did little flowers in the center of the intersecting blocks.  My flowers need a little work, but it is fun to try new things with my quilting.
