Your colors are beautiful! And I am in awe of the basket border. That is a masterpiece!

I have just finished the Basket Puzzle quilt I began in October 2020, worked on it throughout the winter, and tonight, May 2021 it is complete. One of the most fulfilling projects I've ever attempted.

Happily I am able to be able to post! A little glitch prevented that but John and Justin were able to fix it! My basket wall hanging was made using fabric I had and my focus was neutrals as well as where it would be hanging in my house. It also includes several old buttons. If I were to make it again I would include other fabrics for more contrast. It was a challenge mathematically but I learned a lot doing it!

Finally put my baskets together. I do mostly art quilts but decided to challenge myself with the baskets. I have named it "What's the Point" because my points aren't all that pointed. I really don't mind that, it's the challenge to try something new that matters the most. The fabrics I used were Tula Pink's and some hand dyed Jane Sassaman. It was fun to do and I did learn a lot. Thank you Alex.


Update: Just received the second picture of the quilted top. I'm loving it!

I love how you played with the fabric choices and positioning. Then you went colorful on the border. Fun.

Just wanted to share the Blue Ribbon on my Basket Mystery Quilt in the Amador County Fair. I entered it under Original Design since I worked so hard putting all the baskets, and spacers together so that everything fit. What a satisfactory outcome.

pjdominici, Your basket quilt is truly worthy of the blue ribbon. Beautiful Quilt. Thanks for posting the picture. I don't remember seeing it when the basket classes were taking place. HelenW

Congratulations! You are right I spent a lot of time designing my puzzle basket quilt with original blocks. I even redesigned each block from Alex in Eq8.
I just finished quilting and binding mine. I need to post it finished.

This is my completed basket puzzle quilt with original blocks and design based on Alex’s ideas.
