You met the challenge head on! It turned out beautiful. I love the flowers. Maybe a little weave in the basket would be all that I would do to it. Its great!

I like it. Great flowers. I agree with KittyD - cross hatching would give a little more dimension to the basket.

I auditioned the ric-rac and decided it was too busy looking. I decided to quilt the cross-hatch to achieve the basket weave look for the flower basket. Thanks for all your great ideas to try out.

I may rearrange the flowers at a later date to allow the basket handle to show up clearer.

I appreciate everyone's input.

Sorry I could not post the photos together so I had to reply again to add the second photo.

I hung the basket quickly. I will re hang with command strips after the challenge reveal.

Great job on the challenge, really like the cross hatch idea and I put beads on everything.

[QUOTE=copycat;6934592]After receiving the magazine page and looking at the ad for paint, I was inspired to do a project about color: Mother nature's colors of Flowers in a Basket.

After ideas from you smart and talented quilters, I am going to rearrange the flowers so the handles of the basket show....and it doesn't look like a plate. I also plan to follow the advice of using ric rack to give the basket dimension.

Oh I wouldn't change a thing. I don't think your design looks like a plate, I think it represents the top of the paint can. You did a great job of interpreting the advertisement.
