It's Wednesday again, time for WIPs with friends. If we can get 15 links I will have a giveaway!
I decided that I wanted to try making some of the one hour baskets.
The original pattern can be found on Craftsy, but I had downloaded it when it was free on a website. I decided that I wanted to use up some scraps and piece mine.
Since the dimensions worked for using 2.5" squares and I just happen to have a bazillion of those laying around, squares it was.
I pieced the panels for the outside of the baskets.
I did not even think about quilting them with the first one I made, but I did quilt the last 3.
I made one with someone very specific in mind but I can't share who as she reads my blog.
I have the three prepped and ready to sew together.
I did a test basket with the red and white
(the one I never thought about quilting).
I used the red and white fabric I just bought for the lining.
As I said I have three more ready to sew. This one was left overs from a wedding quilt.
Mostly left over from several wedding quilts
Left overs from a graduation quilt.
Hopefully I will be able to get these sewn and ready to gift in the near future.
Which one is your favorite?
Now it is your turn!
Link up what you are working on.
Tell your friends and let's get 15 or more link ups going so a giveaway can happen!!
