It has been just pouring rain these last few days. The sun is out now so I hope I am not tempting fate with the open umbrella! I have baskets on the table, a Noah's Ark quilt and some bunny fabric ideas. oops, I forgot about the Rooster's mending! :( I've no time for anything other than a flood of ideas!
This was the general idea for the basket quilt. I will put the applique posies at the top.
The wall hanging should actually be a bit wider but I could trim the sides down if necessary. The background of these baskets is a white on white print, a tone on tone. I like them but this has been in the stash a long time and I remember why; the print is painted on and a real pain to applique! :{
But the narrower sashing is much better as it is less busy and doesn't overpower the baskets. And I want to see those darn painted flowers in the TOT fabric background. ;) I really kinda want to leave my focus fabric of polka dots in the quilt. :}
I got a huge selection of bias tape at a thrift sale and was thinking of a vine with circles. But I had an aha! What if I did flower stems?
Looking through my paper circles for a size I found this checkerboard circle. Cute. I'm sure I have some checkerboard fabric. :)
These baskets are proving to be a very time consuming quilt! My ark needs floating.
And my bunnies are wanting to get hopping! Cutting the most bunnies that I can may mean doing these blocks on point. :O
My camera sure doesn't like focusing on dots! But I do think I have a plan for finishing!
I need to stop the flood that is washing away my time! vbsigh But I do wonder what kinds of floods (ideas, projects, fabrics, finished projects, mosquitoes, etc.) the gals on
TN&TN are experiencing

We could use some of that rain, elle. Apparently Southern Alberta doesn't want to send any north...but at least we aren't under a flood watch! Maybe you can lose the mending under a wave of fabric... ;-)
those baskets are so cute Elle...really going to be nice
Certainly lots going on in your studio this week! Hope the rain stops soon - though we could use some in NS. Our forest fire indexes are super high and it's only early June!
You've had a productive week. I love the look of the thinner sashing strips and your flower idea is outstanding.
I think the rain was good for you and your garden. We finally got some much needed rain in NS. Yes I actually wrote "much needed rain".
