I finished stitching the last two blocks to
Linen Closet's Mystery Basket BOM for 2016...What a FUN project!!
Yes, I changed up that last block just a wee bit...Here's a couple of close-ups...
I used a paper hole punch to cut out the wool berries! I first backed the red wool with Heat N Bond Lite...and it worked like a charm!
A HUGE thank you to Dawn Heese for taking the time to design such wonderful blocks for us to stitch! They were fast and fun...and very SWEET! There is nothing like a basket quilt!
And here are all the blocks together on my design wall...waiting!
They are going to have to wait a while longer because I am off and running! I won't be blogging for the next few days either, as I am meeting up with my middle daughter in Seattle for a girl's weekend! I'm sure we can get into all kinds of mischief! And yes, there are JoAnn coupons in my purse! Ohhh.. how I have missed 'her'!!
Have a FUN Friday and a great weekend...and Happy Stitching!~P
Your blocks are so beautiful. I'm anxious to see the finished quilt. Have a wonderful weekend with your daughter!
ReplyDeleteLike what you did with the last block. Mine is ready to be quilted this weekend. It was a fun project.
ReplyDeleteLove your blocks--such cute wool-ey patterns--I've never worked with woolens..I do like how they look finished...hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea using the paper hole punch for the berries. All the blocks look wonderful. Enjoy Seattle with your daughter, I'm sure there will be fun to be had. Especially in the quilt shops.
ReplyDeleteLove seeing how everyone puts their mark on this great project. Love your variation for the last block.
ReplyDeleteHope the ferry ride over to Washington state is smooth without any border issues! Have fun at Joanne Fabrocs and with your daughter of course!
I LOVE what you have made for your last two baskets! Some "sincere flattery" (copying) may happen here. : )
ReplyDeleteEnjoy time with your daughter. Was supposed to be with my oldest daughter in Oregon right now, but car trouble sent us back home. Bummer!!
Love all your blocks ...each one beautiful! Have a great time in Seattle with your daughter.
