Church Banner Progress

Woohoo!!  I made real progress this weekend.  Sometimes I have so much trouble taking a step--I am afraid I will make a mistake, so I am frozen to begin.  Well, I finally jumped that hurdle!  Progress!!

I decided to add the cross and then start quilting.  I had thought I should quilt and then add the cross, but couldn't get my reference lines in correctly.  I thought I would be more complicated to quilt around the cross.  But, I really didn't have a clear idea of where my quilting lines should be without having the cross ironed in place.  I will have a lot of thread ends to weave, but that is ok.  So far I am really happy with it.  I think I will be able to meet the deadline in two weeks.
