Featured Quilt - A-Tisket, A-Tasket, That's A Lot of Baskets

Twenty Baskets Full of Flowers by Rossillis Rosario won the Traditional Prize at the International Quilt Festival's A Celebration of Color 2022. After finding a design by Emily Senuta, Rossillis was determined to make this quilt and bring its beautiful design to life. She says of when inspiration took her, “One day, looking at different books, I found one by Emily G. Senuta. When I saw all the beautiful flowers, I was compelled to make this quilt. It took me two years to make, and I used about 70 different fabrics.”
