18 charm baskets were completed this week. I'm enjoying the slow stitching process for sure.
116 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.
When I machine stitch the baskets there is a pair of little triangles that get trimmed. I save them on a pile. When the pile gets big enough I line them up on the 1.5" HST Accuquilt die. Then they go into the small baskets sorted into neutrals and prints. I don't know where these will land in the end. There is not much waste when making one of these baskets for me. I did use many neutrals in one of the units of the Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt this year. I didn't have to cut any for the whole step!
I also stitched circles on two Dicey blocks this week in blue (Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2025.).
I posted how I was making my applique circles using Applipops for this Dicey quilt on this post. You can read why I started this quilt here.
The snowmen are STILL hanging on (since January 19).

You will soon have all the baskets finished for your quilt! She'll be a beauty, happy stitching!
Are you using a different fabric for each basket, like a charm quilt? Your collection is growing!
Aw, poor little snowmen! They need to move here! We are getting buried in yet more snow today!
You certainly seem to be making great progress with your baskets!
You are working very quickly on those pretty baskets. I like when I have leftover scraps that I can use in a future project.
You're moving right along on those baskets - they are so cute! I like the Dicey blocks, too. They're a fun idea for the RSC colors. You might have to make some new snowmen one of these days, lol!
Yes. I am using a different fabric for each basket. I'm trying to use multi-colored fabrics that do not fit into a specific color bin.
We're getting a dump of snow today. Brr. I want to stay inside and sew instead .
Getting dumped on with snow and ice here. Demoralizing at times. The baskets are little marvels of color- just love them.
Darling baskets, Kathy as are the dicey blocks. You are staying very busy. Have a lovely week. Stay warm and cozy.
