I've entered my Stash Baskets quilt into the Blogger's Quilt Festival at Amy's Creative Side -
72 x 84
I've done regular hand quilting in the ditch between blocks and did big stitching in perle #8 navy thread.
I actually used a 10 inch Cake Stand block but switched direction on the two HSTs closest to the basket.
I also used a variety of fabrics from my stash in blues, purples, reds and yellows.
It was a lot of fun finding things to put in my baskets. I hate to admit I had all these things to fill the baskets already in my stash too.
I enjoyed big stitching but need to work on keeping my stitches even.
After a go in the washer it didn't fall apart so there must have been just the right amount of quilting.
This was a lot of fun to make and to quilt.
I'm ready to do more hand quilting!
Such stunning colours...what a beautiful quilt. I love the hand quilting. X

ReplyDeleteLovely bright colours - this really caught my eye.
ReplyDeleteI love all the vibrant colours in this quilt. Your hand quilting looks lovely too. The big stitches with Perle 8 give quite a different look to traditional hand quilting.
ReplyDeleteSuch happy colors, that is a really beautiful quilt!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful. I love your baskets and the colors you chose are so fun and cheerful! :)
ReplyDeleteThat block is definitely on my to-do list ... and seeing yours is making me re-think its position on that list. ;-) What a beautiful quilt!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun quilt! Love how colorful it is and of course I always love baskets.:)
ReplyDeleteLove how you "filled" the baskets. It's a such a fun and colorful quilt.
ReplyDeleteVery colorful. And I love the fabric you used to fill your baskets. It gave me an idea to use up my leftover Farmer Market fabric. Thanks for sharing.
