Basket Weaving 101
Only a few more horizontal rows left to quilt with perle #8 and then the row of baskets needs to be quilted - probably in regular hand quilting thread.
I won all of the blocks from Block Lotto last year. Lucky me...I won several times last year. I pieced together the batting from the mountain of leftover pieces piled in the corner of the room and I had the different colors of perle on hand as well as the backing so this is practically a free quilt.
This is my May goal for A Lovely Year of Finishes
And I'm going to the Slow Sunday Stitching virtual sewing bee at Kathy's Quilts.

I love the combination of blocks ... and I never would have thought about it. Can't wait to see the whole thing.
Looks great! I'll be doing the big stitch on my next Kim Diehl quilt.
Free quilts are the best! Love the bright cheerful colors.
Love how you quilted this! Also the combo of blocks really play off of each other and then the perfect name! Great all around
As an actual basketweaver, I can tell you this is a fabulous quilt!
