It's Time

To show the next block in the Dearest Boy saga...

What you say...it doesn't look like the block in the book.  You are right.  Life is too short and too busy and I don't have the patience for all that technical work.  So I found a block in EQ8 and used it for my baskets.

 I truly admire those who did the block as it was in the pattern.  I just wasn't up to it.  I am very happy with my little baskets.

 Thanks for stopping by.  Be sure to visit the blogs of the sew along quilters,
Karen, Julie, Carole, and Doreen.

 This coming week I am staying at my daughter's house keeping my granddaughter company while her parents go to Las Vegas.  They go once a year and I go to her house.  Luckily she lives 5 minutes from my house so I can run home for a change of clothes or get a little sewing done.

 Hugs, Cathy

    Your more simple block is a very suitable substitute for the original design. I left the embroidery off of my block as it was already busy looking. Quilting is meant to be fun, so if simplifying suits you, then go for it.

    Nothing wrong with changing things up to make the quilt your own--the baskets are so cute!

    It is a very sweet finish. You just made yours unique and that is never a bad thing.

    And, by the way, I am ALWAYS simplifying patterns. Good for you!

    Makes perfect sense to me to alter the pattern especially with these super cute baskets!

    From what I have been doing for 3 months, I do not blame you for not getting involved with the detailed handle on the baskets. These are some of my favorite baskets you made! Just think your quilt will be your quilt only!

    Forgive for being late on commenting! I just finished my York Lodge blocks and in the process of putting it together! Highly intensive quilting - only OCD idiots should make it LOL http://doitrightquilter.com Nanette

    I love your simplified version of the baskets, I wasn't keen on he braided handles either.
