I started this quilt last year, when my son was still in high school. He participated in track and field, and as a parent who has a child in the track team, there is a lot of sitting and waiting for your child's next event. To quicken the waiting time, I had brought with me, some applique to work on.
I had made an effort to sew the basket pieces at home and applique the handles at the track meets. That meant 202 hand-appliqued handles!! Once the upper and lower portions of the basket were finished, then was the simple process of sewing them together.
When all the baskets were sewn together, I had to figure out the color layout. The pattern was pieced together with a gradient color scheme, using printed fabrics. I used Laundry Basket Quilt's Linen Texture fabrics, so my gradient coloring was going to a bit different.
Presently, I'm laying out the basket blocks, out on a bed, to see if I can assemble a pleasant color arrangement.
Till next time,
