quilt every day–june 2008
Still working on the basket blocks. The blue hanging basket is the block for July. The other baskets are past months’ blocks that I’m catching up on for the sampler quilt which will make its debut in just a few weeks. The instructions for the hanging basket should be up on the Citrus Belt Quilters website later this week if you’re participating in the basket block of the month.
These are from an autumn block exchange at CBQ, we made 5 of the same block, turned them in at the June meeting and got a set back with 4 other blocks plus your own. Mine is the scrappy basket on the right that’s not finished yet. That one got pieced together wrong and since I only had just enough time to get to the meeting I didn’t take any photos of any of the correct blocks for you before turning them in. I’ll have to get out the good old seam ripper and try again. In the meanwhile I think you can use your imagination as to what the block is supposed to look like. It’s nice that there’s plenty of time to put them together into a neat little wall hanging before fall is upon us.
The other 4 blocks by from CBQ members Betty Cullen, Getta Hannah, Candy Mitchell and Judi Steenson. Next post I’ll show you the picture quilt my daughter Annika and I made at the CBQ June workshop and give some highlights from the guild meetings. Also coming soon: Virtual Quilt Tour of the Redlands Quilt Festival.
happy quilting! ^_^
