Basket Case borders are on

Last Saturday, I got the borders put on the Basket Case quilt.  It's still waiting to be quilted, but thought I would share it with you.  I've been pretty busy with non-quilting stuff and haven't had much time to sew.  

This is an interesting way to use up  scraps with a geometric block.  It doesn't matter what fabrics you use for this quilt, as it all tends to mess in well.  For a more coordinated look, can you imagine each horizontal line a specific colour (ie hot tones) weaving in and out of the vertical lines another specific colour (ie cool tones).  It would look fabulous!!

For me, I am always trying to find nice patterns to use up my scraps and the scraps that people give me.  This one is a good one!

Excerpt from a previous post:  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.

Take care everyone.
