Howdy, ya'll!
Woo Hoo! I have a finish, and I am swooning over it. 😊
I finished my little basket quilt. It has that Americana look with the blues and reds.
I am calling it my "Friendship Basket" quilt because my dear friend, Joan sent me her favorite basket template. Now it is my favorite too!
Joan loves the color blue so how befitting to applique these little baskets in scraps of blue. Aren't they darling?
Such a fun little quilt to work on .
Of course, I have already started cutting out more baskets. I can not just have one basket quilt. Lol . This time in the color red. I already know how I want to set them.
QUESTION:
With the finish of one quilt does that mean I can start 2 or 3 new ones.?😆😃
In my defense , they are smalls .
So along with cutting out red baskets , I went ahead and cut out some red and blue fabrics and began "Feedsack Flags" which is in the book Patriotic Little Quilts. This is going to be a fun one too.
I started a 3rd one too, but I will show that later.
Have a fabulous Friday , my dear friends and as always...
Happy quilting, ya'll
