This basket quilt has been waiting for the quilting since 2022. It was a buck a block monthly block of the month from a store in Indy in 2014 which was actually 3.00 a block. I liked this one so much I even bought the finishing kit. I hope to give this one to a friend, unless I decide it is too small. I love basket quilts. It is a block that has been around at least since the mid 1800s. They look so happy.

Way to finish! Those are really sweet baskets. I didn't know the design went back to Civil War era. Thanks for sharing at TGIFF today!
ReplyDeleteLove those baskets! I like that there are a variety of designs. The backing is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI thought I had your blog on Feedly, but it isn't, and I can't find a way to follow it, so I'll be sure to check your blog regularly! I thought about you when I pulled out the Kristals pattern that I purchased because I saw it on one of your posts. Your finish was gorgeous! I love that pattern, but just reading it through at first glance, I'm having problems figuring out which color goes to which block, since the pattern is in black and white. I am not the smartest when it comes to reading patterns! So I've made notes to check your posts about it.
Hope you are having a great summer!
Congrats on another beautiful finish. I haven't done a buck a block since 2006. Do quilt shops even offer those anymore?
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute finish!!! Yes, all quilters love basket quilts! Pretty colors and love that backing, Maggie!
