Whenever I finish a quilt I allow myself to start another on my wish list & this time it's the lovely baskets from the Blackbird designs book Where the Cold Wind Blows. I 've always wanted to make this & once I read about Jeanneke's method for prepping the baskets I was on my way........
I'm also going to make this one using the Quilt as you Go method & am hand quilting around each basket before I add the sashing to make up the rows.
Thinking of sticking to mainly blues, reds & pinks from my stash for this one, here's the progress so far.......

This is going to be a beautiful quilts when you're finished. And I think doing it quilt-as-you-go is an excellent idea.
Your baskets are lovely. I'm looking forward to seeing how you put the blocks together with the quilt as you go method.
Looking Lovely Gisele, this quilt is on my 'bucket list' Thanks for sharing the link to Janettes blog, looks easy peasy.
I love your colour choice
This is definitely a quilt on my wish list too! I love those baskets. Yur fabric choices are simply wonderful!
I tried posting a comment last night and it disappeared into the ether so here goes again.
Seeing your baskets reminds me that I too have a collection of these little beauties in a box somewhere. What a clever idea to use QAYG, it will be ready in no time at all. Love your soft colours.
These baskets are turning out so pretty! I am looking forward to seeing this quilt progress along. Love your fabrics!
