RSC23: the inspiration of this flower basket quilt hit; sorry it's been so long ago that i don't even remember where i was inspired to create this quilt from!
i pieced 9 different blocks. each flower was a different color, but each basket was the same brown fabric. each of the leaves, and the cornerstones in the finished setting was a different green. (i had way more greens than i thought i did!)
i used a batik for the background. (and *almost* had enough before needing to switch out to something very, very similar...) sigh...
very often i do a mock-up design and layout in my EQ5 (!!!) program. that makes things much easier to work on in bits and starts. it also allows me to remember what i'm working on, and my original idea of where i was headed... i often have ALOT of projects/WIPs going at once, so i like to have the reminder tucked in with what i'm working on...
blogger is being super dumb, and won't let me separate the two pictures... but, above is the finished quilt. it's being auctioned off at the PA Relief Sale next weekend in Harrisburg. i donated the top, and it was hand quilted by some of the MCC volunteers. (click on over to see the details and some up close beauty shots...)
my youngest daughter, B and i will head down to say a fond farewell to this quilt, as well as take in all the sights and sounds this sale has to offer.
thanks for stopping by. i've been so sporadic with the blogging, but still sewing along for RSC25. go see what everyone esle is doing, too, over at Angie's blog!
