I've been making progress with my basket project. I got the borders put on yesterday, and I'm ready to layer and quilt. The border fabric was a serendipitous find from my stash: the diagonal plaid echoes the diagonal of the on-point blocks.I like this top -- it looks soft and vintage to me, but it's not the usual pink and blue prints I'd typically expect to see in a 30s repro project.

Here's a quickie pic of my B-a-D blocks so far. Just about 150 done, not even half, and the stack is getting tall.

I love your basket quilt. And, wow! What a pile of blocks!
I love the baskets ! One of these days I'm going to make one of my own. Actually I want to make a liberated version and a traditional one so I guess I have 2 basket quilts on my list.
This quilt is fabulous...love it!
And the photo of the fruit and quilt blocks is also wonderful...it's one of those photographs that just makes you relax and take a deep breath!
Such a very pretty basket quilt! Are you going to hand quilt it? 150 blocks, and not done yet? Wow, what a wonderful quilt it will be!
