Basketing Around Finished

It was pretty intense, but with a few long hours at my machine in the dining room, I got it done.  I even powered through the hand sewn binding while watching free videos from Quilt Con.  It was really interesting to hear about the Amy and David Butler team.  They are amazing.

Here it is...

The echo quilting in the borders is very rewarding but time consuming.  I am happy I did it though.

This might be my favourite block.  I loved how the colours came together.

And now...

Is that too much or what.  I think I made my brightest quilt ever.  And I designed it all myself too.

My Niece was here how Nice

Caroline came for a visit and some sewing.  What fun.  She was imagining some new Christmas stockings for her and her guy and thought I might be able to help.

After some work on her part drafting up her ideas...

Then a quick lesson in paper piecing...  She was a quick study...

What a great start.  I hope I get to put up a picture of the finished project....
