Spools


This block  (4" x 5 1/2") was fun to make and used up some of my scraps. I am making a quilt for my guild's auction next spring. Finished size will be 16" x 24". I am hoping to inspire other members to get some made over the summer.


There will be nine blocks altogether and these are the fabrics I am using.


My basket block is complete but it needs to marinate a bit before I quilt it. I am thinking of a border or maybe not. I love those flying geese in the fabric and was thinking of those in the border......we will see.

  5. Cute spool. I look forward to seeing the rest of the spools. Your baskets would be great with or without a border, but flying geese would be great with the baskets.
