I never realized how popular basket blocks are! So many of you are anxious for me to continue to include baskets in our sow-a-long. I will do that.
In the meantime, I'm going to share a picture of a quilt I made a few years ago which I am donating to a museum's auction in April. It's very cheery and bright. Actually I had given it to my daughter but when she moved and found herself with less room, she gave it back. So I decided to give it to charity! Of course, once I looked at it for a while, I almost reconsidered. I love the colors!
Be on the lookout for bonus blocks in a couple of days for our sow-a-long. And, of course, the next 3 block installment will be on April 4th. Are you all keeping up??
Love to you all,
Randy
That's a great quilt! I'm sure the museum could raise a lot of funds with it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt to donate. Very generous of you. It would be hard to part with that one, I think.
ReplyDeleteLest I be accused of being the culprit, I have not been "asking" for more basket blocks, but I have acknowledged that I would enjoy them. : )
I have kept up with my plaid set of blocks, but I am slipping on the Christmas ones. Am working on some projects with deadlines and they have to take priority right now. Hopefully I will get caught up.
I really do not think I could give upthat lovely basket quilt. That is very generous of you. Someone will be very happy to take it home.
ReplyDeleteI had never really thought about basket quilts much, but in the past year I've made several basket blocks for sew a longs, and then made a small blue and white basket quilt - a replica of an antique quilt - so I'm thinking I'll make a large basket quilt soon! Thanks for including basket blocks! It has been fun.

that is one lovely quilt--those baskets are so pretty. Aren't you just the nicest "sew-bee" to donate it....Julierose
ReplyDeleteLove the basket quilt you are going to donate...can I be your charity??!! And yes, I was keeping up with all of the Barrister's Blocks plus the bonus ones as well...that is until my machine started to make noises and I had to run it over for a cleaning/check up. I am anxiously awaiting the phone call that I can come pick it up. That is always so stressful!! LOL!
ReplyDeleteyes to more basket blocks!! That is a beautiful basket quilt and a very generous gift to your community. blessing to you
ReplyDeleteI'm keeping up and still doing two colorways.
ReplyDeleteLovely little basket quilt.
I hope it does some good for your charity.
Happy sewing
