Projects have me on the go.

I just thought I would also post this beautiful Basket quilt that was a sew along with Pieces in the Past Quilts  This was done in 2021 I finished it July 2021

 It was also a fun project most of the fabric I used was from Kim Diehl's line. 

I think I have another border around it this is not all together here but I do have the whole thing posted. 

Oh there we go I found it! I changed the corners from a solid finish to baskets on the corner as well. I was able to use my Handy dandy 150 blocks book and find some basket patterns that were 10in since the border is 10 inches 

I also didn't want my baskets hanging upside down when on the bed so I had them all the same way, 

during the summer last year I brought some tops to be basted to hand quilt I should be set for about 3 years, there is not one quilt that is under 100x100 but I am also going to big stitch some of them so they will go quickly

This is one of my favourite quilts, why? you ask it was a block swap that had to be anything to do with cat's kittens. I got all these blocks back and then had to think of a way to build a quilt. I had wonderful fabric for the corner stones, different cats, then the sashing there is kitty prints in the fabric, but what I love best is the borders they are cats walking on a picket fence. 

Even the binding is frogs, mice and such that kitties would find to torture. 

I am heading long in this quilt that has a ways to go yet but I am finding things to quilt it to my liking thank goodness the hardest part is what to decided to quilt in it. 

I am working on Moda Block Heads 4 blocks and I am on their facebook page. I have to say it sure has changed from when we used to follow the pattern and now its like a pattern is posted and everyone has their twist. I love it! sometimes it just gives you the incentive to make your own or use another participants idea. 

I love this block the corners that are on this block were not in the pattern but someone posted this idea. I had to do the same thing its amazing how a little twist in a pattern can be so dramatic to the block. 

I won't do it with all of them but sometimes a block needs a little touch.

Well back to getting my quilting going. I am almost finished my first row of big stitch with "Ruby will post next time no picture. 

Have a happy holiday for Monday be it anywhere in the world!

I`ve been having a little fun

This is a finish got the binding done just have to bring back to my friends to give away. it was fun to do and we are going to make one for each other as well.

 Then I put some prairie points on this lovely quilt will post a picture sometime this week and give you a little story behind how it came about. I do love it though

 Also have a few more blocks put together. I thought I would have to make it bigger but I think it will be a generous queen quilt.  There is still an applique boarder that has to go on and another row of basket blocks. I am really liking the antique look we are getting.

Then I did some shopping Evelyn`s quilt store had 50% off and so I just had to go. you can see a little pile of fabric there. the quilt with the prairie points is folded on the top there.

So it has been a little fun and I have got a few finishes under my quilty hat. I am sure you all thought I just started things...LOL have a great day.
