Basket Puzzle

    My purple basket puzzle-I bit the bullet and conquered those partial seams today. Seems to be a lot of visual motion so I’ll likely defer to a plain border to give the eye a resting place.

    Comment


      Got down to brass tacks and tackled those partial seams. Such a commitment issue!!! This PURPLE quilt

      seems to have a lot going on so a plain border will suffice.

        Purple version for me

        Comment


          Made myself complete all those partial seams today. Quilt seems full of motion so a plain border seems in order.

            Magnificent!! Love the color, baskets, and areas that you filled in with HST's, triangles, pinwheels, and other blocks. Amazing!!

              Lahoefer--Yours may be my favorite so far. Please post when you are done.

                I’ve been saving French General fabrics fabrics for a long time.
                I tried just putting the baskets on my design wall randomly. It just made me crazy. So I tried the 12” block in the center with a 1 1/4” spacer. This seems to be working for me.

                Comment


                  I'm feeling lost about what to do next.
                  Here is a photo with the blocks sorted after size and color.
                  Would LOVE some input about what I should continue with. I have a 12" Cherry basket in the making, It's the same fabrics (roughly) as in the basket with the red dot.
                  Alex, you give excellent critique,you have a trained eye and always give good ideas to consider.

                    Sorry, I’m just seeing this today. If u r concerned about the handle disappearing. I would just change that corner triangle to a cream background. That way you save the bottom half of the block. The handle is not that difficult to redo. You’ve got a lot done. I’m still working on mine. Be sure to finish it.

                          I have loved making this quilt. Alex, your precise instructions and gentle encouragement ('just have fun guys') have been wonderful. Thank you.
                          The small pop of red is for my mom--She was 96, had Alzheimer's, and died early this month. Her favorite color was red.
