  1. Donna, this is fabulous! Are the two center blocks trapunto? It looks like they might be, but hard to tell from the pic.

  4. Wow, another great quilt Donna. Hmm, great minds Kathie! I was eyeing off that basket block too...there's a red and green quilt thats going to happen in my life very soon. Sigh, time to retire (I wish).

  5. I've actually got a quilt under-way based on a version of that basket block. I've drafted up both 20" and 24" blocks. This is only the second version I've seen. It's a beautiful basket block. Thanks for posting an image of it.

  7. I like seeing the method used for the flowers with the stuffing. An interesting quilt.
