Lucy's basket is a finished quilt. It has been a long time coming. The basket's themselves were a pattern by Bonnie Hunter at quiltville.blogspot.com in her book more adventures with leader and enders. My daughter and a scrappy quilter friend, Lucy, swapped the baskets in 2014. We each made 230 baskets. I moved it from ufo status to assemble in October 2019. I put it on my top 10 quilts I want to finish in 2020. I didn't finish it like Bonnie did. I wanted something smaller.
There are about 2,000 pieces in the quilt and 13 1/2 yards of fabric. It is 68 x 75 inches.
It is not put together all that well, but I am in love with it. It has my daughter's blocks in it, and one of my favorite scrappy quilter friend's blocks in it. And some of my favorite scraps as well. It is a treasure trove of quilty memories. We also swapped little houses that is on my list for this year as well.
