Busygranny, I hope your DH is doing way better. I do have a suggestion for you about getting the fabric. I figured that I'd better get all the background fabric at the beginning of this quilt. I don't want to run out and have to buy something that might not match exactly. The book says you need 8 yards of background but I bought 9 1/2 yards to be on the safe side. I hunted for quite a while before I found something that I felt would work really well. I wanted a dark brown background but decided against it.... too limiting for me on fabrics that would show up well. And what would I use for the baskets other than brown?
I'm so glad others are working on this..... would love to hear about your adventures with this one, Debbiequilts and your friends as well.
And, Onebyone..... are you even tempted to join us?
