May is here! This UFO finish was one I saved for May. In honor of May Day, I finished the final border on my Buds in a Basket quilt that I started a long time ago. When I began, I enlarged the quilt by making more basket squares, and then it got put away before borders. But Sunday, I added the last border, and this UFO is ready for the long arm quilter. I am celebrating May with it.
My favorite block is this one, because the biggest piece of fabric is from my Mom's stash, and is an authentic 30's fabric. I wonder what Mom made with this cheerful fabric? The flowers in the fabric are round, just like the ones in this quilt. Serendipity.
Here is the quilt on the design wall:
And I am still enjoying embroidery of the May Day Flower Baskets Quilt. One basket each week. Here is this week's basket.
Looking forward to seeing what you are working on. Spring has finally arrived here in Michigan, and Sunday was a beautiful day outside. Hope you are enjoying spring weather where you are. Show me your design wall, and tell me what you have been up to. Please put a link to this particular blog post somewhere within your blog post, so people can come back here and go to the next link. Thanks!

I LOVE your Buds in a Basket quilt so much. That's the reason I purchased the book. Your quilt is so beautiful!! I don't know when I'll get this quilt started but definitely someday, I hope. Have a good sewing/crafting week! Oh, your embroidered block is so cute as always too.

ReplyDeleteI love quilts that look vintage and I think that is why I like visiting you every Monday. this quilt is no exception, wonderful. Last week I was given 3 bags of vintage fabric though I dont know how old it is. The price tag on one piece said $4 for 8 yards. It is suck a lovely cotton and cheerful. I shared it on my post today.
