The 2007 Block of the Month Quilt: Wildflower Basket
home
January BOM pattern link click here (flower part only! for the basket part, see patterns below).
I will always love a traditional basket quilt. Have seen lots
of old traditional two color quilts that capture my attention, plus if
you make one of these quilts it is a great way to get rid of your
fabric
stash. The wildflower basket quilt is 88"x105" finished
size. You will need 20 blocks, setting them on point,
diagonally. Use fat quarters to applique the wildflowers.
All my fabrics are from the Sewing Basket, in Plymouth,
Wisconsin. If you live in this area, please support them.
They are very nice ladies. For a link to the Sewing Basket,
