I last posted about this quilt back on Aug 16/2025. This pattern is called Basket Case by Cluck Cluck Sew. I modified my version to use up what I already had on hand. The scrappy strips I started with are only 2" wide. Once I got the rhythm or order of assembling it, they went together pretty quickly.
Basically, I opened my drawer of 2" strips and pulled out colours are random, and I really mean at random. Don't over think this one. Just pull two colours that you like together that have enough contract to allow the block design to stand out. Otherwise anything goes. I chose to do my background in the same cream colour to allow the weave design to stand out.
During Saturday's sew day, I worked on assembling these blocks. I needed a total of 30 blocks (5 across by 6 down). I had all the fabrics cut out into kits from a cutting session I did during my vacation last week. So I really only needed to sit and sew.
It sounds easy.......the only needed to sit and sew......lol......but I get so caught up in having the ladies over, doing the show and share things, all the chatter and the various projects everyone is doing, that by the time I actually sit and sew, it's time for lunch.....lol. Can I just say that it's pretty easy for me to get distracted with all the quilting stimulation....lol.
So needless to say, my goal of having 16 of these blocks done by end of day was very ambitious...lol.
Do you like it? I still have the border yet to put on, but that will be another day. Today I think I am going to iron some recently washed fabric and play with some plaids. I really need to start processing some of my scrap fabrics. The quilt above is a good start, though it hardly made a dent in the drawer!
Take care everyone. Have a great day!
