I have loved making this quilt. Alex, your precise instructions and gentle encouragement ('just have fun guys') have been wonderful. Thank you.
The small pop of red is for my mom--She was 96, had Alzheimer's, and died early this month. Her favorite color was red.

Sorry, I’m just seeing this today. If u r concerned about the handle disappearing. I would just change that corner triangle to a cream background. That way you save the bottom half of the block. The handle is not that difficult to redo. You’ve got a lot done. I’m still working on mine. Be sure to finish it.

I'm feeling lost about what to do next.
Here is a photo with the blocks sorted after size and color.
Would LOVE some input about what I should continue with. I have a 12" Cherry basket in the making, It's the same fabrics (roughly) as in the basket with the red dot.
Alex, you give excellent critique,you have a trained eye and always give good ideas to consider.

I’ve been saving French General fabrics fabrics for a long time.
I tried just putting the baskets on my design wall randomly. It just made me crazy. So I tried the 12” block in the center with a 1 1/4” spacer. This seems to be working for me.

Made myself complete all those partial seams today. Quilt seems full of motion so a plain border seems in order.

Today Alex asked to see a 4” block with a handle. Attached are my 4” blocks so far. I’m making more right now, since I love this size. Miniatures are my favorites. I used a 1” x 6” bias for the handle & trimmed the excess.

Loving the challenge of your projects, Alex!

Hi Alex! Today you mentioned that you would like to see a 4” basket with the handle. Here are my 4” baskets so far. I’m making more of them as we speak. I love miniature quilts & that makes a 4” block pretty nice!
Love joining your chats each week & I always learn something. Keep up the great work!
