I took a small break (maybe a year or so but whatever, don't judge) from this quilt but now I'm back at it. Seriously, I just need to clean my sewing room and so some projects must get finished and out the door, right? Right. So here's the basket pieces. The entire thing is paper pieced with some applique pieces to finish. This quilt comes with 4 baskets unless you buy the extension and get 4 more. So I did. I'm making 4 lighter colored and 4 darker(ish) colored ones. The difference is the background fabric, the stems and colored buds. There's still more applique work to do for the center medallion part but one step at a time. I decided to hand stitch embroidery floss along the edges of the greenery. I'll be able to finish the rest of the stitching after these pieces are sewn onto the rest of the quilt. Now, I need to make 3 more of each color.
