BUTTER DISH BASKETS
The Celebrate Spring fat quarter challenge is now finished! Here’s the result of my use of the fat quarter challenge using Celebrate Spring by Sandy Gervais and Moda. After much deliberation and searching I selected a pattern by Fig Tree Quilts called Butter Dish Baskets. This pattern had been in my pile of "someday projects" and I'm very happy with the results.
I've had a ton of fun doing this challenge with Nicole of Sister's Choice and Dawn of Quilts and Pieces. Hopefully, we will do this again in the near future and have lots more quilters involved!
Thanks so much for following along as we progressed through the month of May!

GASP!!!! I love it Darlene! Your Celebrate Spring baskets are the sweetest thing ever. Thank you so much for initiating this fun and rewarding challenge. It has been such a lark.
Oh Darlene...I love your quilt too!! The baskets are so fun. That blue border fabric is scrumptious.

OH DARLENE! I LOVE it! Not the basket pattern I had guessed, but even better! I love, love, love it! Those baskets are amazing!
I've had such fun with this - yes we are going to do this again! I really want to! And can't wait! It was so fun to watch the progress and have the surprise but not have it drag out for months. It was perfect!
And I just got time to post mine! I can't wait for your surprise when you see it!
WOW! That is so great! Never would have guessed this result from your teasers :o)
You should be happy with it -- your quilt is gorgous! What a fun challenge.
Do another one soon!
Darlene, Darlene, how do you manage to make such beauties in no time ?
This quilt is another fantastic one ! LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT !
(Now please, please, don't forget putting a labl when you quilt it : can you imagine it being considered as "anonymous", later ??? NO WAY!)
XOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Oooh, girlfriend, I've been checking your blog ALL DAY and it just now popped up in my Bloglines!!! I could hardly stand the wait to see your 'surprise' quilt! It's absolutely, wonderfully Spring!! I do love it!! And you are such a whiz at getting all of these different tops pieced...please, please can you send me some 'want-to, got-to, just can't stand unless I quilt' inspirations??? I saw Nicole's lovely quilt this a.m., now I'm off to see Dawn's. This was a wonderful idea, BTW!! Loved the snips of progress throughout the month. :D
You've had us all in suspense waiting for the photo. It's just gorgeous Darlene. Love your border fabric.

What a lovely quilt! It turned out sweet! I've enjoyed reading about your challenge. Great work all of you!
I just love it and I also love the FQ bundle you bought.
I saw Dawn's earlier this morning. It's so cool to see the different quilts using the same fabrics. The baskets are perfect for this fabric. A very sweet quilt!
Beautiful. You all did a great job. I want to play next time. My only problem is if there is a time limit. I never seem to be able to get things finished as quickly as everyone else. :-(
How pretty...I love your quilt and Nicoles. Great job...I would really love to have the pattern for the Table Topper it is also very pretty...Thanks everyone for sharing..Toni

Wow! How gorgeous. The little baskets are adorable. The whole thing was well worth all the waiting and teasing.

Beautiful, as all your piecing is! The use of red in it is wonderful.

It's another fabulous finish Darlene!! Love that border fabric and the red just makes it POP!
What a great border fabric and the baskets are beatiful. What a great look.
Your challenge quilt turned out marvelous. I hope you host another challenge soon and more of us can join in.
Darlene, I love it! It is so sweet and romantic and just makes you feel good looking at it. You are so talented! And thanks for welcoming me back. ;)
VERY pretty! I love those old traditional blocks. I especially love that sashing fabric. I want to find some to buy! Oh dear, I just remembered - I'm on a fabric diet! Hmmm . . . doesn't mean I have to starve myself, does it LOL?
This turned out so nicely. It was so much fun to see all the hits posted by the three of you. I sure hope I can participate another time.
I too love the red and aqua border. OMG... what a beautiful quilt Darlene! I love it!
Love the way the fabrics look with the pattern. So exciting that you chose it! Keep up the great inspiration to all of us. Sometimes when all the quilts I am doing are for deadlines, its just great to look through all the wonderful stuff you guys are doing. Reminds me of why I started doing all this.
Thanks,
Joanna
