The Last of the Grape Baskets

I've finished the last six Grape Basket blocks. These finish at 15 inches. This is one of the UFOs with basket blocks that I wanted to move forward this month. 

I started the month with 6 blocks and my target was 18 blocks. 

Of course Grape Basket blocks have to contain grapes!

I will be setting these on point. Now that I have my 18 blocks I just need to figure out what to use for side setting triangles and get it assembled. I know that won't happen before month end. 

Then I need to decide on a backing. I will probably have to piece one with some of the wine and grape fabrics I have left. 

One of my goals this month was to try to move forward 4 different UFOs with baskets. How did I do?

1. I started the month with 26 nine inch (finished) Flower Baskets and I met my goal of 50 blocks. 

2. I hand quilted and finished Four Patch Baskets - inspired by a 19th century crib quilt. 

3. I started the month with 6 fifteen inch (finished) Grape Basket blocks and I met my goal of 18 blocks as you can see. 

4. No progress at all.  

And since I only moved forward 3 of the 4 basket UFOs I don't get my planned reward - start another basket quilt I have had my eye on. That's just as well. I'm kind of tired of baskets now. 

And sew it goes...
