Happy Baskets

Pam Brennan

A colorful quilt to chase away the winter chill. Basket quilts are a fun classic design that I don’t make often enough. I chose a very colorful outer border fabric that I also used inside each basket.Set on point seems to be the best way to enjoy these baskets. This lovely lap size quilt measuring 52”x66” is up for sale on eBay. Please search for “Colorful BoHo Basket Quilt”.

I used that colorful floral fabric to help me choose two colors for each basket block,trying not to repeat combinations too closely.

I enjoyed making this quilt! The bright summer colors were fun to work with while in the middle of winter. I machine quilted this with an all over edge to edge abstract floral design with purple thread.

I chose a colorful floral designed fabric for the backing that adds even more fun color to this quilt.This quilt is going to be a cheerful addition to somebody’s quilt collection!

I’m a work from home long arm quilter/quiltmaker.I learned to sew on my Nana’s treadle machine when I was around 8 yrs old but didn’t start making quilts til much later in life.I’m mostly self taught and have been making quilts for 30+ years.I enjoy making scrappy quilts and love working with batiks,but I have a fondness for antique reproduction fabrics as well.I tend to work with more traditional style block patterns but I put my own spin on them with use of fabric choices.I also do some pantograph quilting for people who want their tops finished into quilts.
