Back in 2009 I started making this BOM ( A Tiskit A Tasket ) that was on the Bunny Hill Designs blog. I finished 7 months of it.
Then, I got very busy because I was retiring in December of 2009 and I had a lot of quilts to make that I wanted to give as gifts to friends at work, so I put this aside and it stayed put away for more than 10 years!! Below are the 7 finished blocks.
I don't know what finally got into me, but I dug it out and this morning I picked out fabrics for all the appliqué and now they are all ironed on the fabric. I still have to do some embroidery on most of them, plus stitch around all the appliqué. I hope to find some time to get these finished and then put together. It is such a cute project!
I may have to set it aside again for a little while so I can get my taxes ready to send to our tax man. Ugh!! But I promise I won't let it sit for 10 more years.
I remember when you started on that all those years ago! It is cute and deserves to be finished. Take breaks from the tax prep and work a bit - you've got almost two months!
ReplyDeleteGlad you thought about those cute blocks. I'll be watching for a finish! ---"Love"
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt! I missed downloading some of the patterns, so it became a ufo for me.
ReplyDeleteOh these are wonderful basket blocks! Need to work on my taxes too - sigh
ReplyDeleteProgress is good. This is a cute quilt and I can't wait to see yours finished. I completed mine a couple years ago and I love the little baskets. It is so much fun choosing tiny scraps of fabric to create the blocks and I love doing the blanket stitching around the shapes by hand. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThey are adorable blocks. It is good for them to see the light of day again.
ReplyDeleteUgh--I have to go start work on my Mom's taxes this week. :(
