A Tisket a Tasket

A green and yellow basket!

A green and yellow basket

My February UFO Challenge quilt is complete -- with two days to spare. Thank you Judy for this challenge -- I surprised myself in finishing this one, in a short month at that! It was started years ago and was intended for my bed. Since then I had rose colored carpeting installed and made a quilt that would better blend with that. So this sat ignored for quite some time.

I'm so glad I was challenged to get back to it! It's wonderfully soft and gushy and I've managed one good nap under it already.

The basket squares are hand quilted, the rest of the quilting is done by machine. The white squares and white setting triangles, along with the border, are done using with machine embroidery designs from Embroidery Library.

Basket Quilt Back
The basket quilt took up almost all of my sewing time this month.

This little hexagon star was hand pieced and is the only other sewing I accomplished in February.


Now I can relax for a couple of days while I look forward to the March challenge!
