A Pretty Dozen of Charm Baskets

I'm almost caught up matching all of the handles I made in the previous weeks to the basket bottoms.  Here's another dozen finished this week.


 59 baskets of 202 needed for the quilt are now complete.  My baskets are trimmed to 4.25" vs. the recommended 4.5" unfinished block due to wonkiness.  52.5" x 64.5" finished is the quilt pattern size.  I'll most likely go with those numbers--give or take.

I stitched a couple more handles in the waiting area of the garage where I get my oil changed to keep up on the warranty forever service agreement.  There's a nice little table for me to stitch.


The quilt pattern is called Charm Basket by Laundry Basket Quilts.  It is an Edyta Sitar design.

I also posted yesterday about the PINK Dicey blocks I made using my scraps for the RSC25.


You can read about my logic behind this quilt on my previous post here.

I did have a little "friend" while I stitched one of the blocks while watching TV:


I left it alone and just kept stitching.  Maybe it saw the dots on the pink fabric from afar and thought it would say hello.

Your baskets are beautiful. The sheer number needed is daunting to me.
