High Desert Baskets

 Here is the other quilt that Sharon quilted for me. I'm calling it High Desert Baskets. Wendy, from Legends and Lace shared these challenging basket blocks some time ago. I see she is doing another monthly BOM called red and green. Check it out HERE.
 While trimming it to prep it for the binding I had to take a close look to see if I had appliqued by hand or machine! LOL It was machine, btw.
 This lovely traditional wreath is on the setting squares. I'm usually sewing on the weekend but my kids are here and my son leaves next Monday (the 1st ) for his world travels. I want  to spend as much time as possible with him while he is here. There will be time to sew.....next weekend!
I won a give away from Gayle, The Middle Sister blog. Thank you Gayle! I just love it!!! 

Let's make it a terrific week!

    Joining the pieced and applique blocks together made not only a very pretty quilt but also a very usable size. The quilting is the ribbon on the package.

    I just LOVE this quilt! It is amazing-love your choice of fabrics and the setting. I have the patterns for the baskets, but never made the blocks. The appliqué blocks are so pretty- what is the pattern? Wonderful quilting!

    Your quilt is lovely, I enjoyed the peek on Instagram.

    Enjoy your time with your son before he leaves on his adventure. May he follow his heart to new adventures, remind him to listen to his head.

    This is so beautiful! Each of your finished quilts is amazing. I love this, so quirky--baskets and blooms. And your machine applique could maybe change my mind about hating machine applique. Maybe someday you ll show us how you do this?
