Custom Baskets

Well, this one was certainly out-of-the-box for me.

I am so comfortable with doing pantos, that I hardly ever quilt from the front of the machine. I decided to try some of the skills I learned at MQS on Mary's basket quilt, and although I need lots of practice, it looks pretty good.



Continuous curves in the blocks and the larger ones have a loop. I’m not sure what the swirls in the sashing are called. The outer borders have a loopy meander and the black background of the basket blocks have a smaller loopy meander.



I used PermaCore Old Gold and Superior Monopoly smoke threads, and Warm and Natural batting.
