In the lead up to last weekend's Quilt Market in USA, many designers have released new patterns and fabric ranges. I've bought a few new patterns. I've never made a Basket Quilt and when I saw Corey Yoder's "Happy Scrappy Baskets", I loved the scrappiness of it straight away - an opportunity to use up loads of Dena Designs/Coriander Quilts/FigTree fabrics that I've been saving.
There is a lot of prep work (sewing/cutting/trimming) to make the half-square triangles for each block but it's going to be a lovely, colourful quilt.
The "Fresh" blocks are finished plus an extra block centre to use when I make another sampler quilt. I'll be in the mood to sew these together in a little while.
"Spinning Stars" is also coming along - a few more pinwheels have been made since the photo was taken. Probably a bit over halfway with the 125 pinwheels now. Won't be able to finish this off until another bolt of white arrives.
"Go Four It - Rainbow Rows" is on Sarah's frame today - can't wait to see this whopper quilted!

Always plenty of pretty quilts coming from your sewing room Lynda! I love the look of your baskets block, something I've always wanted to do!
