More baskets
Work continues on my little basket quilt. I am finding these baskets to be addictive and a perfect project during this busy time. Lots more to do but by prepping about 8 a day I am making great progress and enjoying the process.
Well this is weird...I just last night picked up those same little baskets I had prepped for applique and was shaking my head at the lousy looking applique I had done on the 1st one...SO-----I decided right there and then to use blanket stitch around them and I am off on a new journey.... I love your greens...Julierose
This is going to be a beautiful quilt! When I first saw this pattern, I decided not to make it because I do very beginner applique and have way too many projects already in the works. The more I see of your blocks, the more I like it making it difficult to resist!
can we see a close up of the fabrics your using, love the colors....I am making this quilt too I need to get them back out again I am close to being done , silly I should just finish this quilt I did the same thing prepped 12 at a time and they went quickly when you had them all ready to sew! thanks for the inspiration I will get back to it Kathie
How funny! We have identical design walls right now...I am also, slowly, making these baskets. THey are a little ignored right now as I am hot and heavy into another applique project, but I will get back to them. Yours are lovely! How many are you shooting for?

Interesting setting with the nine patches.

interesting border and those 9 patch, here and there. I like it so far.
It's great to these up on your design wall. I really like the random placement of the nine patches, is that how you'll place them?
Love your baskets! How many do you have to make? How big are the blocks?

Love them! Makes me want to copy you!
Oh wow! Your quilt is looking so great! I am just about done with mine after almost three years. Love this quilt.
Just love your green baskets.
I like the setting you are using for the basket blocks.
