Quilter's Crossword

Quilter's Crossword
 
This is another quilt created for a Guild Challenge in 2005. The theme for the challenge was "Games." I've always liked word games and a crossword puzzle was stuck in my mind. We also had to use a particular fabric in the quilt and it had to be a certain size. My solution was to create a crossword puzzle in the center (which I actually filled in using a fabric pen) with quilting blocks as the answers to the clues. I then created each of the blocks in the clues to surround the crossword puzzle. Can you guess what the theme fabric was? The quilting on this was basically stitch in the ditch so as not to detract from the theme - but I did a criss-cross in the black center to mark off the separate squares. Can you name all the blocks? Once again, my quilt was one of the 8 voted to go to Paducah and, once again, our guild's entry of 8 quilts was selected to be exhibited in Nashville. Alas, not a winner again except for the honor of going to Nashville!
