I finished the slow stitching on the last two handles needed for the last two baskets of my charm quilt.
I'll stitch them with their other basket pieces and finally be able to assemble the Charm Basket top. The last two baskets go in the spots that the white paper pieces are at the bottom of the photo. The ends go on the staggered, shorter rows.
The quilt pattern is called Charm Basket by Laundry Basket Quilts. It is an Edyta Sitar design. I also stitched circles on two Dicey blocks this week in blue (Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2025.)I'm linking up with Kathy's Quilts for Slow Sunday Stitching here.
But wait, there's more. Because I wanted to start the Bonnie Hunter leader/ender 2025 challenge (I blogged about it on Friday here.). For full details, see it on Bonnie's blog here. I decided I needed to continue to work on a "real" project to need to use leader/enders. I put together rows 7 through 14:
This is the right half of the quilt. I LOVE it already. I'm trying to visualize how to longarm quilt it...
I love the different blue backgrounds. I have a feeling this is going to be MY new living room chair quilt.
I also love the wonky baskets. some of the points aren't perfect. Some of the handles aren't centered. It looks like something my "other" grandma (not-as-much-of-a-quilter as my quilting grandma) would make.

Your basket quilt is going to be just wonderful, Kathy! I would enjoy looking at all those baskets up close - like a quilter's I Spy. This should definitely be your quilt!
As I have been following your progress on this quilt, I didn't realize just how many baskets you have been making. Wow! This is a fantastic quilt.
My goodness, you have made fantastic progress with your baskets. they look really great!
It's so pretty! I'm impressed with your progress on it!
