Little Wonky Baskets and Hollow Nines
in '30s reproduction fabrics.
58 x 72
It's a flimsy!
You know how one thing leads to another. Well, once upon a time (back in May) I made a Churn Dash quilt top from '30s repro yardage. Then with leftover 5 inch scraps from making Churn Dashes and some 2. 5 inch scraps left from other projects I made an Indian Hatchet (Ribbon Candy) top in October.
Then the cutoff corners (waste triangles) from making those Indian Hatchets led me to make some Little Wonky Baskets that finish at 4. 5inches. I used muslin bits and pieces for the background because muslin (and Kona Snow) seems to go with '30s fabrics. Then I thought the Little Wonky Baskets looked kind of plain all by themselves so I used some 2 inch 30s repro scraps and muslin to make Hollow Nines as an alternate block for this quilt top.
And now I still have some leftover cutoff corners I will turn into little Dinky Wonky Hourglasses.
My next task will be to evaluate any UFOs in pieces I have made with '30s reproduction fabrics and decide what I need to do with each of those UFOs.

one day I wish to make something like this! That is incredible.
Wow, you must have had a huge stash of 30s fabrics to be able to make 2 quilts from the scraps and still have left overs for another set of blocks. You’re right - Kona snow pairs beautifully with the 30s fabrics.
That is a beautiful flimsy! Such pretty colors, all blended together! ---"Love"
It's grand, Cathy -- and I see you used up some bigger pieces with the varied setting triangles.
This top turned out SEW beautifully, Cathy! I know we are not supposed to play favorites, but I think I like this one best of all. Looking forward to seeing the next quilt in the series. Dinky Wonky Hourglasses? Can't wait! :o))
I've never been a fan of 30's fabrics, but I love this quilt! The way you use up scraps is amazing.
Gosh I love this so much!
Great use of your scraps! Never would I have thought to put baskets & hollowed 9s blocks together in he same quilt but I guess the 30s fabrics pull it all together! great job!
I love your combination of basket blocks and hollow 9-patches. They work perfectly together! Great way to keep using up those 30's scraps!
It's absolutely wonderful!!!
Love it, love the 30's reprints!
These blocks were a perfect pairing, particularly for 30's reprints!
Beautiful and so sweet! I love any kind of basket blocks.
Joining the chorus of "OMG I love this quilt!!!"
This is so pretty and joyful!
Wow! You have really made a lot of progress. Congratulations,
So many happy vibes with this quilt! Perfect colors and the baskets are super sweet.:)
