This was one of the 2 projects I worked on at our retreat. I love it and can't wait to finish it. Pattern is by Diary of a Quilter and the fabrics are by Alison Glass. I chose a non white background and went with a Bella called Mist. It's a bit grayish green and is hard to see in this picture.
I got all my strips cut, sewn and cut. they are ready to be put together.
The fun part will be matching them up into blocks......
that will look like this! I really felt like this needed a design wall so now the fun can begin!
I cannot remember if I showed this baby quilt or not. It is for my niece who is having a baby boy in early July. I enjoyed searching through my stash of baby/little boy/blue fabrics to come up with this quilt. It's little bit I-Spy!
Last night was book club night and we read the book, The Four Agreements by Miguel Ruiz (I think) and had a fabulous discussion. I highly recommend it and thank you Judie for recommending it to me! Everyone stayed until 11:00, there was much to talk about!

Your baskets look great. I love the baby quilt. I really can not wait to see all your little strips in a quilt. You really have the very best fabrics!
ReplyDeleteWow, you did work on a lot. The basket blocks are great. And i like seeing all those rectangles going together. Lovely result with the baby quilt. There are some fun fabrics in that one.
ReplyDeleteThe baskets looks really nice together.
ReplyDeletewhat a cute baby boy quilt!
ReplyDeleteI love the basket blocks and your 16 patches.
I like your low volumes and the background mist.
Love the basket quilt. It's surprising how large the blocks are. I think they would look great in a small size too.

Love the baskets, and I think I'll have to add that book to my reading list. Thanks for the recommendation!
ReplyDeleteI've had baskets on my mind for some time. I love yours!
ReplyDeleteYour chunky baskets are just plain fun, along with the newest baby quilt. It's nice to be able to dig into the stash and pull out what you need.
ReplyDeleteSeeing your beautiful colours and fun projects is a breath of fresh sweet candy air.
ReplyDeleteLove your baskets, I'm working on the Gwennie Inspired medallion QAL and did three different basket centres.
ReplyDeleteWhile at retreat I found a basket block swap back that needs to be put together but I think I'm going to make a few more baskets to it.
