This basket quilt is my latest customer quilt finish, and I’m really proud of how it turned out.
These baskets were made by Lynda's grandmother in the 
1990's, if I remember correctly. Her mom had been saying for years that she should do something with them.
So, Lynda and her daughter snuck them out of the house during a recent visit and surprised her mom by making them into a table topper quilt.
I’m pretty sure they aren’t going to serve dinner on this one!
It's quilted using a variety
of free motion quilting designs with Superior's Omni thread, Warm and Natural 100% cotton batting.
I really wanted to make sure that the baskets were emphasized and Lynda didn’t want feathers so I used on overall leaf pattern in the light green areas. The thread color matched so perfectly I had a hard time seeing where I had actually already sewn!
I’m always amazed at how the back of the quilt shows off the designs!

Wow! That looks great!
Thanks! I tried a high contrast color in the pale yellow border around the blocks, and not only did it detract, I didn't execute the design well, so I had to pick it out. That took FOREVER! I'm so glad I changed it!
Great work..........
