I finished my Stash Baskets quilt.
It was difficult last night to get a good photo. No matter what I tried the lighting just wasn't right.
It was all hand quilted - big stitches on the baskets and regular hand quilting in the ditch between blocks.
I used Color Catchers when I washed it because I had used so many red fabrics.
There was no bleeding.

I bought this fabric long ago thinking it would make a nice quilt back.
It does. All my uneven hand quilting blends right in.
Doing any hand quilting today?
Join us at Kathy's Quilts for Slow Stitching Sunday.
Hmmm, what shall I work on next?

Congrats on your finish...it is just stunning!
Going to hand quilt today but first I am running to the store for some apples...I am in the mood to bake a pie. No wonder...it's 38 degrees out this morning so it feels like baking weather! :)
How pretty! It's been gray and dreary here for several days, and I love looking at your bright colors. And I never met a basket quilt that I didn't like!
Oh this turned out great! It has a French flair! The backing fabric is perfect! I find early mornings best for photography, but you got some great shots. I really love the close shots love seeing those quilting stiches. Congrats on a great finish!
Absolutely gorgeous and that backing fabric is perfect!

Perfect backing...isn't it fun when you find or rather have the perfect backing. I love the bright colours on the front too!!!
Gosh you finish lots of stuff! The baskets are wonderfully filled with novel items, all good to eat, from what I saw. so bright and pretty, good job!

Gorgeous baskets--loving the big stitching on them..hugs, Julierose
I just love this basket quilt that you made. So much so that I want to make one of my own. I love how you use the different novelty prints like the candy cane and the watermelon fabric. Your quilt is very inspirational. Thank you for sharing.
