You sure have been busy. Love the quilt idea and I do love making those basket myself. Didn't take a class, just went by the seat of my pants.

I think what you're doing is an excellent idea and much better than sending a block to everyone expecting to get every one of them back. This way they aren't leaving the place, so you will definitely get them all back. Great thinking! :thumbup:
yes, I did make the baskets. I have the book "It's a Wrap". I have made about 10 - 12 baskets. These only took about 6 hours, for the two.

I will the baskets/blocks to the rehearsal dinner, so family will be able get their blocks signed. Then next day to wedding.
