It's gorgeous and the colouring is phantastic. I would love to make such a aquilt too. Unfortunately I don't have any shirts yet but will start to have a look around. I don't think I will find as many as you do but will not stop the search. Could you give me any measurements? How laarge the triangles or the blocks or the sashing? That would be lovely. Greetings from Germany and please do show us the finished quilt!Claudia/Ompompalihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15480820181886586055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4344904739833956385.post-65212839665379589982019-03-10T03:34:09.141-05:002019-03-10T03:34:09.141-05:00The baskets are stunning.

I like the second quilt too - it doesn't seem at all discombobulated to me, more cosy and inviting and comforting.Kajahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08417544341324291385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4344904739833956385.post-61799812379313625862019-03-01T10:42:17.437-06:002019-03-01T10:42:17.437-06:00The basket quilt looks phenomenal so far!

Brand new, still in the original wrapper and though the wrappers looked like they had seen better days, the sheets themselves were immaculate. I washed them thoroughly with bleach anyway, then dried and pressed them. Used part of one in a quilt top fashioned after a blue/yellow column quilt. Don't remember the name of it, but it was posted by "Confessions of a Fabric Addict" a week or so ago.Tehachaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12973382680508334105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4344904739833956385.post-29515894677058756962019-02-20T20:08:46.576-06:002019-02-20T20:08:46.576-06:00Wow your basket quilt is stunning!

Your shirt quilt does not look discombobulated at all. It looks very cozy and homey.
