Glorious Baskets" Quilt is Finally Finished!!!










From start to finish it took me 3 years to complete this quilt and I enjoyed every minute of it. I embroidered all the blocks by hand as well as hand quilted the entire quilt. There is an earlier post on my blog showing pictures of when I was hand quilting on it. Now to decide which quilt I will work on next!!

Mary, this quilt is SO lovely. Are the blocks from that vintage 32 basket embroidery pattern? Great job and I can't believe you hand quilted it! I have to go back now and see how you handled the quilting around the baskets! Willa just sent me your blog tonight; have missed seeing all your work.

Yes, the blocks are from the vintage 32 basket embroidery pattern. I decided I would never take 3 years to make a quilt again and trying to learn free motion machine quilting now.
