I also got my Baby Baskets quilt back from the quilter on Monday! It is just stunning!! I don't have the binding on it yet but here are some photos for you.
LTW did a beautiful bow thing in the handle. I had her use a pink and brown varigated thread (Superior Threads) for the handle, the flowers in the basket and the borders.
You can see the outside border and the inside border quilting here.
The back is as beautiful as the front!
I really LOVE how these baskets came out.
In the negative pink space LTW used pink thread so it did not distract from the baskets.
I chose the flower patterns for the baskets and the negative space. I suggested something like what she chose for the handle. LTW did a little bow in the actual base of the basket and outlined the baskets too. She chose the border quilting.
I brought it to the CL group last night and everyone thought it was just fabulous! I do too. The baby it is intended for will be born April 28th so I need to get the binding done on it and get it labeled soon!! Please let me know what you think.
I am coming along nicely on the QFH too (aka the anniversary quilt). I have several rows finished. I need a night at home to actually work on it though. There is a lot of matching when I have to put the rows together so each row is taking quite a while, although I am liking how it is turning out. Maybe LTW will be able to quilt the h--- out of it? Hopefully it won't be a problem.
I really want to get this one done!
Anyone attending a tea party today? I am off to see if I can find one close by!!!
Attention: There is a great give away over here, at this new blog I just found. Go check it out!

The basket quilt is great! The pattern is lovely and the quilting is amazing. That's an effect I'll never ever get handquilting. Now I get why you sent them out for quilting. Wow!
Don't be to hard on the dog...*lol*
(haha, the word verification for me this time is "hooligan" I hope that doesn't say anything about you and the teaparty..)
Your basket quilt is just beautiful. I love the quilting too. Wish I could quilt like that. It really made the quilt didn't it. Your dog - lol. Reminds me of the Christmas Story.
Oh the quilt is stunning I love the design, your dog so reminds me of Tam that is exactly the sort of thing she would do, you cant leave food anywhere around where Tam is concerned. Im still a dog lover but Lurchers only.. I had an argument with a cat yesterday but thats another long story lol.
Will write you an email soon.
The basket quilt is absolutely stupendous, well done both of you!! Lucky baby!!
That quilt is very pretty. Well done to you and the lady who quilted it. x

Your basket quilt is beautiful!!!! Did you find a tea party?? lolol I'm watching on tv. Love me some Sean!!!
Lovely quilt. I attended a Tea Party and it was great. There is going to be a National one Oct 2, you can see the info on my FB. I AM GOING!!! I already informed hubby and he knows not to argue with me on this one. I want to save this country and if this is what it takes I am there.
What a gorgeous wee quilt, no wonder you're happy with the quilting, that's gorgeous too and not overdone either. Just wanted to add that I am in the process of doing the pies and tarts and it's not finished, you might have seen the sample.
Puh-leeze tell me who your quilter is. She does a great job! Thanks for leaving info about making links. I will try it again and hope for the best!
