The Gift Basket top has been done for a few days.

| Here's sneak peek before it gets loaded onto the quilting machine. |

| I have to say that the blocks went together like a dream! The blocks are 8" finished and both the handle section and basket section are 4". As long as the center of the block is always pressed down and the joined blocks are pressed up, and because of the half basket in the alternate rows, every seam locks together and sews up perfectly! |

| Susan gave me this delicious piece for the backing--it's from Edyta Sitar's Snow Birds line. Some of the fabrics in the line have snowflakes, but they are very subtle--it definitely does not scream winter to me. I'll be leaving it out year round once it's ready to come home after doing it's job at the quilt shop! |
And here's some inspiration from the talented Stitch Therapy ladies!!
