LITTLE BASKETS

On to a new project -----

I've made several of these 4" paper-pieced baskets.  I think this is probably a traditional pattern, but I redrafted it to the size I wanted and changed a few lines along the way.

What's next?

I'm thinking maybe some appliqued flowers are in order!

Edited to add:  Skip the applique --- that didn't work!!

After that? 

I haven't decided on a quilt set yet, but then that is my usual mode of operation.  I design as I go, auditioning fabrics and letting the quilt tell me what it wants.  The blocks are telling me that this isn't quite right yet!!!!

How do you design quilts?

FALLING LEAVES TABLE RUNNER

 I just finished this table runner for my next-door neighbor.  It was fun to make as she requested Fall colors -------

The runner is 13" x 36" and contains 38 different fabrics culled from my stash/scrap bins.

It is machine pieced, and machine quilted with random wavy lines.

 The yellow/gold glow in the center reminds me of the aspen trees in our beautiful Rocky Mountains during the autumn.
