Charm Baskets -- Slow Sunday Stitching


Twelve baskets were completed and trimmed this week!


My baskets are going to outgrow their little bin soon.  I'll have to get stitching on the Bonnie Hunter mystery, Old Town, to free up a larger bin.  All my units for that is complete.  I'm in the process of putting together blocks.

36 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.

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

Slow Sunday Stitching

I'm linking up at Kathy's Quilts for Slow Sunday Stitching here.

Speaking of crafting...  Here's our son in the garage assembling some sort of Kinnex-type project.  I think he's building a race track.  He found the magnified light head gear thing at the bin store for $1.

The basket quilt is definitely a slow stitching project but keep stitching and they'll all eventually be pieced. Happy stitching!

Your basket blocks are so fun, Kathy! I like that light/magnifier thingy your son has, too. I think I need something like that for when I am slow stitching!

The baskets look great! I have never made an E. Sitar pattern; I've always been too intimidated by the gazillion pieces! I do think I have one picked out though, so maybe this will be the year! Happy Stitching!

Love these little charm baskets, charming indeed. So happy to see your son creating like that and what a bargain for the head lamp too.
