Scrappy Baskets

I started this quilt in a workshop with Freddy Moran last fall. It was going to be all dot scraps, but a few stripes and florals crept in. The white floral sashing is a home decorator remnant I bought in Sweden.

The block pattern is in the book, Freddy and Gwen Collaborate Again. In this method, you sew scraps onto newspaper triangles.

Here's a basket quilt I made last year, using a similar method taught by Gwen Marston. These handles are strips cut on the bias and steamed into shape, then top-stitched. The whole thing measures about 42" square.
