Basket Weave quilt

This is one of the first quilts I made and the second one I had quilted.  Placing the block pieces in just the right order proved a bit of a challenge.  And after I had sewn all of the strips together and had laid the finished top on the floor, my son came in and remarked, "Mom, some of those are not right."  As a matter of fact, eight of them were not right! Thank goodness for my Bernina seam ripper...a true friend in a time of need!

Sadly, the colors just didn't photograph well.  They are actually a little brighter and the background is a little richer than what shows in the photo. One of my favorite elements to this quilt is the backing fabric.  Joel Dewberry  ♥
