Garden Baskets

I have something else to show you today instead of Hearts & Wreath blocks or Welsh Beauty. I was recently informed by an out of state friend that they thought most of my quilting journey was with hand work. They only read my blog on Sundays which is when I highlight the handwork I've done throughout the week.

During weekdays, I blog about progress made sewing whatever quilt I'm working on. Right now, that quilt in progress is a BOM called Wildflower Woods. I'm sharing with you today because month 7 is appliqueing Garden Baskets.

Ten baskets have been appliqued. These blocks will finish at 6" and all be sewn into a row. I haven't trimmed them because I haven't sewn the center of the quilt together. I want to make sure everything fits together before I go trimming any edges.

Last Sunday I told you I changed the settings since some people were having problems commenting. Now I have the problem I can't respond to the individual questions on my blog or to you by email. I'll see what I can figure out.

Thanks to everyone who does leave comments.

Cute baskets! I will need to go back in your blog to see your other projects besides your hand quilting. I’m not sure why Blogger is being so difficult!

Sarah said...

Nice little blocks. I too am having trouble with blogger! Thought it was just me but obviously not!

Your baskets are lovely. Love the black ones thrown into the mix; they make the others pop. The variety of the background fabrics are fabulous.

Hi,
Beautiful baskets...I'm making a pink basket quilt
right now. I think I'll try a pattern like this
one next time the basket urge comes over
me. Have a great day!

Several people are having Blogger problems lately. I thoroughly enjoy reading your blog. I usually only have the time to look on Sundays though. I love those basket blocks.

Pretty little baskets, not something I have made yet, but on my "would like to do" list.

Your baskets are beautiful. I like the backgrounds, too.

Your baskets look beautiful. I hadn't heard of this BOM so I'll go and have a look at the link. Yours is the second blog in a row that's mentioned Wildflower Woods.
Happy Stitching :)

Great little baskets! Do you use a Mac? If so contact the help desk (or whatever they call it. I was able to follow their directions and got back the ability to comment on any blog. And, I still get everyone's comments delivered to my email account. Win-Win!
