Welcome to my new Teeny Tiny Quilt Club project called...
Garden Basket
Teeny Tiny Garden Basket is our next project. The truth is, I love, love, love basket blocks and have wanted to make a basket with an applique handle for a long time. While it is my intention that the projects for this club be very small, this one grew to 12 inches square. Yes, small but not teeny tiny. The basket block is perfect for spring, and I didn't have another project for spring ready to go, so I took creative license, and went ahead anyway.
While designing the quilt, I really did want to keep it small, but all the things I tried just didn't make this basket the center of attention, and I really wanted it to be the focal point. So, this is the final result, and I hope you like it!
Now, if applique is a FOUR letter word for you, don't worry! I love the appliques on this quilt, but if you don't applique, you are welcome to fuse your pieces or use wool. There's also an alternate option (above) to make a basket without applique.Just a refresher on how the club will work...
Anyone can participate, and I sincerely hope you all do! Starting next Friday, I will post a three week sew-along sharing a tip or two as we piece this project over the next few weeks.
