The weather was finally nice enough for us to hang newly-finished quilts out and photograph them. We did three. Most of them have been finished for a while, now, and photos of them in some stage or another have been shared on this blog previously.
Caramel and Indigo Basket remains one of my all-time favorite quilts. I'm going to put this one away for a grown-up grandchild.
I don't believe I'll ever get my fill of basket quilts.
Sister's Choice with the "blurry" centers. Scrappy. A genuine leader-ender project. This will probably be gifted within the current year.
I think I might start another!
Second Hand Clothes has been finished for a while. Thanks eternally to Kathy B for putting me on to this terrific pattern. I'm tickled
pink red, orange, and brown with how it turned out! I love how the nine-patches form what looks like a lattice overlay.
This quilt, as well, will be gifted within the year. Destination is already determined, just not revealed!
Presently I'm hand-quilting my old Civil War Baskets quilt that I've been working on for pretty many years now. Unbelievably, I'm halfway through the quilting on the last side of the border and within the month should be binding it!

They're all gorgeous, but you know I'm partial to your basket quilt!
lovely quilts.......enjoy the nice weather.........
So, what have you been doing in your SPARE time?
You are amazing; you know that, right?
Such liveliness. I agree, the baskets are extra special.
I like all of these, especially the Sister's Choice.
These are all great. :-)
I confess I was surprised by the light background on the baskets. It's so unexpected -- and makes it look so fresh!
I love them all -- but think I may have to "steal" the Second Hand clothes pattern. Hmmm.... Wonder what it would look like with William Morris fabrics?
WV: abrodot -- to abolish polka dots
I lvoe each one and that you ahve a plan for each quilt too is fantastic.
Oh my! I LOVE them. Especially the "blurred" center ... and the baskets ... but mostly I just love the third scrap quilt. Dang! Who can choose??
P.S. I agree with Mrs. Goodneedle!
Lovely, lovely, lovely!
You do BEAUTIFUL work!
Beautiful and warm and cozy and charming, all three! How satisfying to get them all finished and waiting.
Beautiful quilts - but then your work is always beautiful. Isn't it nice to be able to bring them outside to photograph! Yea Spring! Began to think it would never come. I'm happy I don't live in northern Montana where they just got a foot of snow. New England is bad enough in winter.
Oh my! Nancy, your basket quilt is gorgeous! My blocks are still as I brought them home, but I think i am now inspired to turn them into a quilt.
Who would have thought that another shade of blue would work as a background to pull them all together?
I am delgihted to hear that spring has arrived - ahead of me :) Look forward to seeing you soon!
wow they all are wonderful
good for you , you certainly have been busy
Kathie
