I am going to do Cécile's basket sew a long this year. Last year I did their log cabin one and had a blast. It's great because the only rule is that you have to make a certain number. I like that freedom. I'm going to do mine in different sizes and then play with putting them together. I like that I can make one in a short time and call it DONE!!
I started with 5" ones; I have a great little pattern for a 10" block so I'm thinking 4 of the little guys next to a big one! Or maybe sashing in between? Years ago I made one of my all-time favorite quilts which is a basket sampler after a week long class I took at Asilomar with Alex Anderson. I have it hanging in our cabin in Oregon. I'll take a picture next time I'm up there (in two weeks). It is a great quilt, if I do say so myself.
Hope you are all staying safe and warm. Looks really cold and snowy in the East. We finally got some rain in California!
I so enjoy makig basket blocks of all sorts...pieced and applique. Enjoy the journey.
ReplyDeleteI wish I felt like I could join this SAL, but it isn't realistic for me right now. I love baskets. These look great, Randy!

ReplyDeleteThese are delicious! I love the idea of all different sizes. Mine will be as simple as possible so that I can finish on time!
ReplyDeleteYour little baskets are adorable! I love doing Bea and Cecile's SAL's because we can be so flexible--hope we both can keep up!
