Hi there

These blocks have been languishing in a project box for months, waiting for me to find the right sashing/border fabric! I did have some of the recommended sashing stripe, but not enough.

The basket blocks are hand-pieced at 60% of the original size, so it's a 54 inch square wall-hanging rather than a bed-quilt. The other blocks are foundation paper pieced.

Some of the blocks are supposed to have appliquéd flowers too, but at the smaller size the appliqué pieces became too small and fiddly for me, so I've left them off.

Mine is fabric taken from stash, although the original quilt fabric from Craftsy is beautiful.

Now I have to decide how to quilt it lol.

I especially like your smashing fabric. Sets the flowers off perfectly. Nice job.

What a beautiful perfect sashing that compliments the brightly colored blocks.

very nice job beautiful quilt!!!

dunster 08-17-2016 11:59 AM

I actually like your fabrics better than the ones in the kit. (A friend used the kit to make her quilt, and I quilted it for her.) I love that sashing fabric, and I think making the blocks smaller was a wonderful idea, since this will make a beautiful wall hanging.

Very different and so lovely! :thumbup:

coopah 08-18-2016 04:03 AM

Beautiful! It's amazing...especially with some of the small pieces you used. I guess I need to get that kit out and work at it. You did a terrific job and the sashing really sets off that wallhanging. Lovely!

Karen G 08-18-2016 05:12 AM

Beautiful!!

soozieQ 08-18-2016 05:16 AM

That is stunning! The black and white sashing sure makes the combo exceptional. Great job!

Wow, that came out great!

RedGarnet222 08-18-2016 07:18 AM

You did such a lovely job on the wall hanging! I am embarrassed to say my kit fabrics and instructions are just sitting in a closet waiting.

It was a good choice to make it into a hanging.

Veinurse 08-18-2016 07:26 AM

Your flowers are wonderful but how you sashed them is amazing Such a beautiful quilt. Congratulations!

Yooper32 08-19-2016 05:02 AM

I would never have dreamed of using that fabric for sashing. Look what I would have missed by not doing that. It makes for a very stunning quilt.

Love, love, love the sashing fabric!!!! Great quilt.
