Baskets to keep me warm!

Outside, a snow storm is raging but I got me some baskets to keep me warm!  LOL  Another quilt is finished!  Oh, this was a lovely quilt to work on and there are quite a few baskets that were all hand appliqued. 

Eventually, some blue quilted pillows will be made to co-ordinate with this quilt and other quilts that are of the same fabrics.  These will do for now.

A few years ago, these baskets were quite the rage (original design is by Blackbirds).  Except, I did my own thing.  I found this basket on EQ7 and did a different border layout to make it my own.

Silly thing is .... I'm not really fond of baskets, but how in the world did I end up making a basket quilt?  Go figure that one out!  I guess when you see something on blog after blog after blog, the brain gets a subliminal message to make one too!  So, I did!!  Anyway, I'm glad that I did and this quilt will be much enjoyed.
