I made a little progress on my String Baskets. I did more cutting than sewing I think. I cut out a lot of red background pieces and prepped handles, but I did complete 4 basket blocks and 8 string blocks. The string blocks will be cut in half to make the basket blocks. My finished blocks measure 7 1/2", in the Gwen Marston/Freddy Moran pattern I am using, their blocks finish at 14 1/2". (I had to do a little math.)
I am linking up with Lori's blog Humble Quilts for the Stringalong Link up

We haven't seem very many moose lately and the ones we have didn't give me a chance for a photo. We did see some caribou though.
Happy Quilting, Rebecca

Love your string baskets especially with the red background. Making the squares first is a great idea and time saver. Thanks for sharing your wildlife photos
ReplyDeleteThese string baskets are wonderful! love the idea.
ReplyDeleteI love these little string baskets, reds are always one of my favorites. Long ago I lived in Alaska, saw many moose in our yard during winter, but we weren't in caribou country. They're amazing animals, both the moose and caribou!
ReplyDeleteYour Baskets are darling! Red! Very fun. I loved seeing the carbou, they are magnificent, wow.
