Little and Big Baskets

4 inch  (finished) Little Baskets (aka Cake Stand blocks). 

The theme this month in my sewing room to move UFOs forward has been "Baskets". 


I now have 61 blocks toward my goal of 110 Little Baskets. These will alternate with 4.5 squares in a quilt. 

In 2023 someone gave me a bunch of fruit and veg triangles - 10 inch squares cut on the diagonal. I decided to make the warm colored ones into 15 inch Cake Stand blocks. In 2023 I made 6 blocks. My goal is 18 blocks. So maybe in the next few days I'll complete my goal. Maybe...




And now I have 9 blocks toward my goal of 18 blocks. My cup is half full! 

And sew on...

I have been spending most of the month in my gardens but I have recently finished a couple of books- Faulty Bloodline and Sin City Treachery. They are books 2 and 3 in the AJ Docker Series by Gary Gerlacher. The thrillers are described as M*A*S*H* meets detective Harry Bosch.

From tiny baskets to big ones, they are all a lot of fun to see! That's the perfect use for your fruit and veggie triangles. Enjoy!
