The basket quilt is finally done, and I’m very happy with it. You might remember that this quilt started out with a print border, but I just wasn’t happy with it. After I decided to do the blue floss quilting on the white border, it seemed like a good idea to add some blue quilting to the interior. In the end, I did a little machine quilting in the ditch, some hand quilting with white thread in the basket blocks and the blue quilting with embroidery floss.
