That's to be the name of my next quilt! I have always loved traditional basket quilts. They just appeal to me. When I won a layer cake of Kate Spain's "Central Park," I started to flip through the fabrics to see if I got any ideas. When I saw the cobblestone print, it immediately reminded me of basket weave and I thought of basket quilt blocks.
These blocks are measuring 15" finished. I don't have a whole plan lined up yet but rather a general picture in my mind that I am working towards. I plan to have a few colorful baskets scattered throughout the quilt and the remainder in the neutral "stone" color. The colorful baskets will be full of fabrics from the same color family as their their baskets. The neutral baskets will contain a mixture of the fabrics. I am not sure yet how I will connect all the blocks. I will decide that when I get there!
This is going to be stunning!! I can't wait to see the finished design :). I agree - the cobblestone is perfect for the baskets.
ReplyDeleteOf course I love these!! Have some of these prints (purples), and wondering what they will end up being. Your blocks are great!!
ReplyDeleteI love these! They are so cute, the fabric choices are perfect and I can't wait to see the finished quilt as well.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love how big blocks bring a quilt together so quickly.
ReplyDeleteA perfectly pretty plan!
ReplyDeleteWow, it's so pretty in these sweet springy fabrics! I can't wait to see it progress.
ReplyDeleteWhatever your thinking it can't go wrong with those beautiful blocks!
ReplyDeleteThose really are perfect fabrics for those blocks! Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, Amy! Looking forward to seeing your progress.
ReplyDeleteTriangles and BIG blocks...perfect combo!:)
ReplyDeleteI have always loved basket blocks too. What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteNice twist on a classic! I had hopes of getting all my basket blocks finished in time for Mother's Day and asking my husband to have it quilted for me as my gift...I should get on that!
