I can now cross off baskets from my quilt bucket list. I had made a regular-pieced basket quilt for my second book in 2004; but I always wanted to try a paper-pieced pattern. I satisfied that urge with just 12 blocks. This little quilt measures 24" square.
It is machine quilted --- I'm still practicing on that; but, hopefully improving.
Here is the 2004 quilt --- I think I like it better. It is machine pieced and hand quilted measuring 49" square, called "Bountiful Baskets".

I love your little basket quilt! I want to do a similar one with those same handles but need to finish some other projects first. I really like the colors too. Your machine quilting looks good to me, as I am still practicing mine.
When I first saw the picture of your quilt I thought it was larger. :) Those basket blocks must be small, but they sure are cute! I like both quilts. And your quilting looks great!
I love both of your basket quilts. They are so different. Gorgeous!
Sally, your quilting is gorgeous! I have always love that Bountiful baskets pattern. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
hugs,
Jann
