Basket Progress
I managed to complete a basket block this week. It was very clear as I worked how rusty I’ve gotten at hand appliqué. Looking back, I don’t think I’ve done any in at least a year. Clearly embroidery and English paper piecing have taken over my hand work.
Given how many appliqué blocks I have left, I’m sure my curves will smooth back out and my pace will pick up. On to the next block!
My UFO for April has been sitting on the design wall. I had decided I wanted flannel for the back and none of the local shops had anything that worked. Saturday a big squishy package arrived in the mail and the fabric has been washed so I can get everything basted for quilting now.
See what’s up on other design walls this week here.
Visit the Pink Pincushion and see how everyone is progressing on their block of the month projects.

That is the sweetest little basket. Looks great to me. Thanks for sharing.
Cute cute basket.
I love the applique basket. Is it from the Bunny Hill A tisket a tasket? I have almost completed the 2nd block in that project. I think I will have to work on another this week.
I love your sweet little basket! I don’t see a thing wrong with it at all! Thanks for entering it in BOM Rehab!
That looks like wonderful applique to me! What a sweet block..great job!
A lovely backet block and you will have a lovely quilt.
I think your basket block is beautiful! I haven’t tried hand applique yet. But I have a beautiful quilt kit DH bought me that has some at the top. I just don’t want to ruin it!
Ta Daa! Yea for another block done. I may get inspired to get out my last couple of blocks one hasn’t been started the other has and a few may still need embroidery. But right now I’m doing a small hexie quilt.
