Well, the top is! Kim, thanks for a wonderful little pattern! It went together so easily! I will e-mail you a pic as soon as my camera batteries recharge - AGAIN!! I REALLY, REALLY need new ones!
Has anyone else made this? http://www.blockcentral.com/grapebasketquilt.shtml I'd love to see your colour choices. I made mine similar to Kim's because I want something in darker colours - I tend to the brights and florals, and I liked how Kim designed it. Will you make some more little quilts for us, Kim?

PS I have yet to learn PhotoBucket and how to transfer my pics from ACDCpro, so I can post pics here, instead of relying on the kindness of friends. So Kim, please could you post my pic here, or somewhere? Thank you so very, very much!!
PPS Once we move and are somewhat settled, I WILL learn how - I don't know how soon we will have internet (we're out in the boonies!) or satellite, so I SHOULD have time, dontcha think??

Gerda... Funny Lady! I've only been quilting about ummmm... 18-20 months and I already have a list of "to do" quilts that is about a mile long. Worse yet I have about 1/3 of all the fabrics purchased for them. Ya never know when ya might want to start on one at 3 in the morning...lolol This might go on the list..hehe
All your color choices just pop! Love that!

Veeeeerrrry nice quilt top, Gerda! The colors do really pop.
I am making one of these, too. My colors are very different, though. I am using a spring floral for the red and the other colors are pastels. Yesterday, I sewed the basket center together. I am still deciding on the scraps for the rectangle border. I love this part of the process. It is like fitting the pieces of the puzzle together. I will post a photo later today.
I am making a larger, quilt, though. I am turning the center on point and setting it in the floral and adding a border or two.
I love this pattern and will probably make it again with harvest colors for the fall.
Thanks, Kim, for the fun pattern.
Felicia, you should add it to your list.
I am off on an outing with with my DD this morning. There may even be a quilt shop stop in there ... because I might need more fabric, books, patterns, notions, thread, and quilts on my list ... Pat
