Quilts

Yesterday evening we had a quiltmeeting.

I finished my basketquilttop.
The patern is from Bonnie Blue Quilts and Block Base.
I made it with my own fabric.
I first want to make it in blue, but the result was dull,
so I put red in it.
One block has 7 baskets( 4 small baskets and 3 the normal size.)



My friend Yael had finished the basket quilt from moda.
