My friend, Leslie, gave me a box of quilt books, and a box full of fabric she was given by her guild friends. In the box was lots of wonderful fabric, including 10 blocks for this quilt. It must have been a monthly challenge, there were printed patterns for the blocks. I made two more blocks - the one on the left, a red and blue basket, and the one on the bottom in the middle. I couldn't see how I could machine quilt it with all the different patterns, so I hand quilted it. I use all my sitting and watching tv time for 3 weeks to get the quilting done. I love hand quilting, but it's too time consuming to do it often.
When I was finished with the top quilt I had all this wonderful fabric left. No way could I put it away so I made this quilt. I love making HST's (half square triangles) I made squares until I used up the fabric. Rather than put the squares together randomly, I grouped like squares together. I Really love this quilt.
