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?
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...

lovely Grape baskets...i think using the grape-themed fabrics was perfect!! Will be looking forward to seeing how you set them hugs, Julierose
I can imagine you are tired of the baskets. One day you will have enough and a lovely quilt will emerge.
Your Grape Baskets are gorgeous, such exciting colour/fabric combinations. Fabulous!
Love seeing these blocks - LOVE those purple fabrics :)
Three out of 4 and hand quilting sounds like a good month to me. I always loved the grape motif fabrics but didn't collect them, just bought a few I liked.
Meeting 3 of 4 goals is a fine accomplishment, Cathy. You'll start that new basket quilt when the mood strikes... next time! :o))
Three basket projects out of four is pretty darned good!
Great baskets!! Can't wait to see these all stitched up.
No matter how small progress is still progress. You did good.
I really really love your grape baskets! What a great block!
And 75% is certainly a passing score. Especially when hand-quilting is involved!
Love them - and the fabrics in them!!
How fun !
