It's a Top!



It's a top!
Four Patch Baskets Crib Quilt
40 x 56


This was inspired by a vintage crib quilt at Q is for Quilter.  My blocks are a little larger than the original - the baskets finish at four inches and the four patches finish at eight inches. I made a different basket than the original because I didn't want to applique handles.  I used civil war reproduction scraps in browns and pinks.  I made two blocks back in June 2017  when the inspiration first hit me.  Last month I decided this would be the next UFO to move forward so I made more blocks and assembled the top.   Time to decide on the next UFO to move forward.

What an ingenious basket block! So much easier than other patterns. You have given me an idea. . . But meanwhile, i really like the strawberry/chocolate colorway.

Love this and the color scheme! I checked out your inspiration quilt (and the antique quilt that inspired it) and realized I could do this with a die I have for the basket in the original quilt. Would love to raid what's left of my repros and make one like this!
