At the top left of the picture are blocks prepped and ready to go. When I finish all of those, I'll have 55-60 of the blocks made. There are *only* 291 blocks total in this quilt.
This is about the point where I tend to want to give up on these kind of projects, but I'm going to forge ahead. The blocks are easy to prep and fun to applique. I figure if I only do three or four a week, that big total will be whittled down in this lifetime. I'd really like to get this one done before I get to The Home!
Check out Judy's Patchwork Times to see what real quilters have done this week!
Cute little basket blocks!
ReplyDeleteAnd a touch of reverse applique too I see. Very impressive! I usually breakdown after 2 or 3 blocks cause I'm bored after all the prep work.
ReplyDeleteThey are cute but I know I would lose my interest and make it smaller! I am half way through a 121 block quilt myself but I am determined to finish it. This year. Really. I hope. :)
ReplyDeletethose are darling baskets! good on you for forging ahead on them!
ReplyDeleteI do love those blocks each time I see them pop up in blog land...a long term project, but so rewarding!!
ReplyDeleteEvery time I see those baskets I want to make them but have resisted so far. Yours are wonderful, keep them coming.
ReplyDeleteWhat cute baskets! Sounds like a lot of work, can't wait to see it completed.
ReplyDeleteI love these little basket blocks, Vickie. I may have to start another UFO. :D That's what I have mastered. LOL
ReplyDeleteI adore these!!
ReplyDeleteI am off to Amazon to get this book in my shopping cart.
These tiny basket blocks are just the cutest. Simple and effective! I had some handwork nearby while watching the awards show but never picked it up once! There is lousy light in our TV watching area.
ReplyDeleteVery cute blocks! You are halfway there if you have them all prepped~ that's the part that slows me down. ;-) Have a happy week!
ReplyDeleteCharming!
ReplyDeleteIts great to have some prepped blocks ready to go when you have the time.
I decided to take out my basket blocks too, its time to finishe that quilt!
ReplyDeleteyou can do it just keep making a few blocks a week

ps I love seeing Design wall mondays!
Once you get them prepped, how long does it take you to do the applique? They're so cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat adorable basket blocks! Great work!!
ReplyDeleteVicky,
ReplyDeleteYou are a real quilter! Your applique shows that to the world. 291? How big will the quilt be?
OH my...that is a huge undertaking!
ReplyDeleteGoodness -- so many blocks. They do look good though. I would definitely be in the home before I completed all of them. lol
ReplyDelete291 blocks? Oh, my... that is a lot! They are looking fabulous so far, and you'll have them all done before you know it. Really! ;o) Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteWay to go!! This kind of project is something that should be at hand for any TV time. :) You can do it! :)
ReplyDeleteVery cute!
ReplyDeleteLove your basket blocks!
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is definitely on my ToDo list. :-)

I've started this insanity too. I don't even have it on any of my lists, it's still too early. They may end up as a table runner though.
