Baskets of Leftovers
I couldn’t stand it – I had to do it! I had to work on my “tisket, tasket, cute little basket” quilt and finish it! YeeHaw!
This pattern is actually called Mojo and it’s by Carrie Nelson/Miss Rosie’s Quilt Co. However, in my home it’ll be called “Baskets of Leftovers”. Why? Well, I’m really proud of myself as I didn’t have to purchase one piece of fabric – this quilt is done with partial fat quarters and such from other projects. I had yardage for the borders and I might have enough yardage in pieces/parts to do some creative piecing for the backing. We’ll see!
Now, it’s time to think about the next project. I love to sew, don’t you?

Oh Darlene, that is so pretty! I love that you used scraps and left over FQ's! The colors are just perfect! Baskets are something I have always had on my mind to get to and might soon!
Love your baskets! It's an amazing stashbusting project! Good for you!
Love it! love it! Great project to use up some fabric already in the stash.
Thanks for showing the finished blocks.
Just love it. Im' not normally a basket person but those are just lovely, and love your border fabric.
Wow! That is so pretty.
Darlene, it's just gorgeous, what a wonderful project to bust the stash.

Dibbies!

I love baskets - this one looks great.
Well done!! I really love it .
You must be rapt.
Oh, it is such a wonderful quilt! The print you used for the border has always been one of my favorites. I think I have a bunch of it in the red colorway for a quilt border one day. Baskets from triangles are some of my favorite blocks - yours are so nicely scrappy!
That turned out really great! Love that border fabric--I think I have some in my stash! The Miss Rosie patterns are a lot of fun and they're perfect for "scrappy."
What a beauty...what a great way to use up leftovers. When it's done it will be just the kind of quilt to curl up with.
There's nothing better than scrap quilts. It's fantastic.
Wow! The border fabric really ties it all together. Great job.
OH! Darlene, this is just beautiful!
All our stuff has arrived and we're in our new Marana(Tucson) home. How far are you?
So, Ms. Speedy Quilttop Gonzales (SQG from now on is how I will refer to you! lol) what's next? Do you quilt theses babies yourself or do you send them out to be quilted? That quilt would look beautiful in my old home! ;o) Need a project, I could send you some of mine! ;o) Keep well and happy quilting!
Scrappy quilts are just the best. While they are wonderful in their own right, they remind me of the quilts that came before. I think I spy several fabrics in yours that have passed this way. Just love it!
I love it! I always itch to get projects finished too, especially the ones I really, really like.
It's gorgeous! I really love the border print, too. Do you know what line it is from? Great use of your stash.
your quilt looks lovely. A great pattern for using some of your stash. I will have to make some basket blocks some day as i have always liked them.
I just love, love, love your basket quilt and the colors are to die for. The border fabric really sets it off. Great job!
I really love your basket quilt! I adore basket quilts! Your colors are wonderful. Nice work (or play)! Hey, I am in AZ! What are you up to this week?
Darlene it is just beautiful...I LOVE IT!
Gorgeous quilt. I think baskets are probably my favorite type of block. No wonder you wanted to keep working on this one!
What a beautiful way to use up all those leftovers
Darlene, that is a lovely quilt! I love the pretty baskets, and how wonderful to be ble to use scraps for a whole quilt- you did good :)
This is just so pretty Darlene! There is something about a basket quilt that makes it so appealing, and your fresh colors make this one a real stand out! Can't wait to make mine.
Nice quilt! Great job on the stashbusting!
Darlene - it is gorgeous! And anyone would think you planned all the colors/fabric! I really like it!
