Wildflower Baskets

Wildflower Baskets is my own design.  I started making small basket blocks several years ago from leftover half square triangles.  When the Covid virus hit and people were recommended to stay at home, I pieced 5 quilt tops, one of which was Wildflower Baskets.  In order to make it a twin size, I made many more basket blocks.  I originally was using only pinks, yellows, and purples for my flowers, but I had a leftover piece of extra wide backing from another quilt that had a floral design with these colors as well as aqua.  I decided to use this as my outer border.  So I also included some aqua flower blocks.  All the flowers are from my stash.  I ran out of white on white background fabric, so I was able to order fabric online (quilt stores were closed) from my local quilt shop.  I used this fabric to finish more basket blocks as well as for the alternate setting blocks.  I put the baskets on point and pieced the top in April 2020.  When quilt stores finally reopened, I was able to buy the backing and batting.  I quilted the quilt using free motion and my own design.  The quilt will be placed on an iron daybed during summer months.
