With that cleared away, I sewed the borders on this little give-away piece that I began assembling at the end of February. It's made with orphan blocks, framed using Sharyn Craig's ideas. I'm very happy with its bright cheerfulness, and am looking forward to practicing some free-motion in the spaces of those blocks. It's a size I think I can manage. The quilting can be done after I finish the baskets.
Yes, I gritted my teeth and sewed together all the rows on the basket quilt. Now just the borders from the focus fabric are left, and the top will be done. Maybe I'll do that today. Notice the ray of morning sunshine falling across the quilt--spring!

Your quilt says "Spring!" more than anything else I've seen in the past few weeks. I love it!
I love the baskets!! Makes me want to be outside basking in the sunshine.
Your basket quilt is pure loveliness. There's variety and a strong unity that keeps the eye moving to enjoy the whole quilt.
Have fun with machine quilting. That's a good idea for practical practicing.
The basket quilt is so pretty!
I adore the scrappy quilt but really love the basket quilt. It is going to be a favorite of yours, I bet!
The baskets are So Spring!
Oh Kay but I love your give-away piece. And I'm intrigued by Sharyn Craig. This idea with the border's grabbed me. I am making a mental note not to forget this. I LOVE IT. Now I'm looking forward to the free motion quilting, too. I love the center block. That pops!
Glad for you the basket quilt is done and I love the photo with the sunshine. Happy! perfect.
Both quilts are lovely, but the basket quilt is absolutely delicious.
