Six Crosses
I started this quilt shortly after completing my first Right of Christian Initiation in Adults (RCIA) course (in January 2009). I wanted to create something that represented my journey through the process to become Catholic.
Each of the six crosses are made using tiny scraps of quilting fabric, sewn improvisationally. The six crosses represent the six RCIA courses I will be completing from January to April, 2009. No pattern was used in the construction of this quilt.
