Hi Everyone!

If you have a flickr account and would like to post your pictures in the group, here is the link.
I have posted some of my pictures and you are welcome to do the same.
I hope this works!

 And... here is the new basket!

Looks little too coordinated but it is just the beginning...

Quilt for Meera

I did not mean to copy you .. I mean it..

It's just that the fabrics in the backgrounds are seersucker and I wasn't sure if they would hold well.. 

And your quilt is so pretty..

I looked for the large floral.....and since it was a gift for a baby girl,

I thought the floral fabric would be just right..

This fabrics was perfect. 

Baby's room is green and orange with Shasta daises on the wall

 

 Now I am STUCK....

I think the border was a great idea!

K says it does not look like a quilt for baby. Anything mild I choose for the back is not going to cut it.

Whatever I come up with.. is too loud and busy for a baby.. 

I have not made many soft pastel baby quilts. 

I don't know how to!

Tell me what to do. Anybody?

I am sorry, it looks like I copied you.. I did not mean to..

I just thought I would have an out in open conversation with Nifty.. If you didn't already know that!

I know, she wouldn't mind.

Well.

I now have four baskets, but they're awfully drab.

I need to fill them up!

What should I fill them with?

What colors should I use?

Hmmm........
Then I'll have to figure out how to border them!!....

Are we having fun yet?

yes.

No idea!

I am unsure if I want light or dark fabric for the background but can't stop experimenting with different shapes!

Basket #1

The beginning of a happy quilt.

Maybe I'll even put something IN the basket....

who knows???

Something to DREAM about.

Do you dream about quilts??

They're usually Happy dreams.....

Here are my supplies:

A drawer FULL of black and brown.

As you can see....I have plenty to work with here.

No need to buy anything. ;)

And a basket shaped piece of paper.

Simple supplies.

Fun sewing.

Happy dreams.

Welcome!

Like a lot of you, I love working with verity of projects. I enjoy making traditional quilts and constantly improvise on techniques, color choices and different textures.  

Whenever I am in between projects, I start making fabric from scraps and put them aside. You never know when they might come handy! These baskets started out in an effort to clean up my sewing room. I had always wanted to make a scrap basket quilt. As I kept making the patches, they became larger and turned into baskets.  I made a number of them.

Soon, I realized how much fun they were. So the next thing was to invite all of you to join in the fun!

You can make crazy patch or out of strings, use orphan blocks and make them small or big..
One or ten or twenty... sky is the limit!

The possibilities are endless! Knowing how much you all like working on an impulse, I have no doubt that this is going to be a cheerful and fun place to visit and get inspired!

I know I am going to make many..
I want a place for us to gather while we gather our baskets.

Only one Catch! ( I said.... No rules) I lied!
May I ask politely to use scraps?
How can you not? They look so bright and cheerful!

There are no deadlines to finish a quilt. This is a place to post pictures of your love for scraps.
I will post references on making a basket block soon. Meanwhile, start having fun making those crazy patches!
I am hoping for a great show!
