I’ve shown this block before but now that I finally got around to pressing it — yet another good reason to hand piece, I think, being able to leave the pressing — I had to take another shot of it. I have a plan for another set of these baskets but I’ll use a third fabric for the interior where I’ve used white fabrics in this one — so that the basket will appear to have flowers, leaves or whatever in it.
The back of it looks almost as good as the front, I think!
Lester in his favourite spot. Today we had two robins singing, sparrows and grackles and a lot of activity as the gardener is getting the flower beds ready for planting.
Smudge did check out the roof garden activity for a few minutes today but I couldn’t grab the camera fast enough.


Gosh I just love that basket block. What size is the block? Is there room for maybe some applique and/or embroidery? (Just a suggestion LOL)Crispy

Smudge has the most cutest nose and Lester, in this photo, has his head cocked in such a manner as to make me think he’s expressing love.Your block ROCKS!

Beautiful! It’s such a lovely basket shape, I don’t think I’ve seen it with those curves in the handle before.
