Springtime Basket Quilt


This basket quilt was pieced by Patsy M. (Sorry for the upside down photo - I took it from the back of my longarm). Check out the dainty green flange border. And the white on the baskets. It is wool, with french knots in each scallop. A really nice touch. I wish I would have hung this up properly and taken better photos. I quilted free-hand feathers in outer border, double feathers in inner border, a spiral background fill around baskets.

Bounty of Door County

The name of this quilt is "The Bounty of Door County", pieced by Carole L.

She stuffed the individual flower shapes and layered them to give dimension; then finished with hand embroidery.

It is a large quilt, over 100 inches long and 90+ wide.

Quilting....sashing and borders were done in scroll-like patterns. I was able to continue the border pattern in the background of the wording on the bottom. The background of the baskets is a dense McTavshing.
