Block 29 - Picnic Basket Everybody should have at least one picnic basket, complete with lining and now you can – with Block 29 ‘Picnic Basket’. This is a relatively easy block to patch with just a few quick corners. Some of the quick corners are small (top of the handle) but the process is the same. Pretty Floral Basket Tip: To help match up the lining points (step 4 of the pattern) press the quick corners on the middle section of the lining towards the lining fabric and the corners on the other two sections away from the lining as indicated by the arrows below. Press as per the arrows to create sharp points If you want to add an extra dimension to this block you can create a patchwork basket from two different fabrics. Block 29 in Patchwork In this case you will need to cut six 1½” squares and three 1” squares from two different fabrics. Patch the basket using the twelve 1½” squares. To create the lining section you need to position your 1” squares so that the patchwork of the basket continues into the corners of the lining (Steps 3 and 4 of the pattern.) The easiest way is to lay it out on your desk before stitching. Continue the patchwork into the lining rectangles Of course you could always turn your picnic basket into a Halloween basket or Christmas basket depending on the fabrics you choose. No matter how you make it, I look forward to seeing your baskets over on Instagram (#block29picnicbasket) or in the Flickr group. And you can find all the blocks, together with the tutorials HERE. Until next time .....

This week's block is a Cactus Basket. Sarah Cannon, who made this block, was the first woman that I researched on the Malaga 1937 quilt. I had not planned to do any research at all but I decided to just have a look at a person or two. I discovered that Sarah's husband was a missionary to the Indians and that her daughter was the first white child to be born in the area. After this gem of information I went ahead and was able to place every name that was on the quilt, not a single missing person. Exploring on Ancestry.com is better than playing computer games! Cactus Basket can also be called Desert Rose, Texas Rose, Texas Treasure, Basket of Diamonds or Flower Pot. Sometimes the plant is much smaller than the basket. Cactus Basket ~ Cactus Pot Cactus Basket is usually made with diamond shapes, but that means set-in seams. I have changed the diamonds to half square triangles for quick piecing - but you may change them back to diamonds if you like! The second block is Cactus Pot; very similar but different enough to include as a second pattern. Make one of each for the mystery quilt. A - 1 light, 1 pink and 1 basket 2" x 2" squares. B - 2 light, 1 pink, 2 blue and 2 basket 2.5" x 2.5" squares. Cut diagonally to make 14 triangles in all. Make half square triangles using the picture as a guide, trim to 2" x 2". C - 2 light rectangles 2" x 3.5". D - 1 light 4" x 4" square. Cut diagonally and use 1 triangle. Block measures 6.5 inches. A - 1 light 2" x 2" square. B - 2 light, 2 green and 1 basket 2.5" x 2.5" squares. Cut diagonally to make 10 triangles. Make half square triangles, trim to 2" x 2". C - 2 light rectangles 2" x 3.5". D - 1 light, 1 green and 1 basket 4" x4" squares. Cut diagonally and use 1 triangles of each color. Block measures 6.5 inches.
Classic Quilt Blocks have been sewn for centuries, are easy to recognise and are every quilters favorite. Let's celebrate these gorgeous blocks and add them to our quilting projects! Welcome to Week Three of my Basket Classic Quilt Blocks series. This week I'm looking at variations of this gorgeous block, plus I'm sharing four of my favorite Basket quilt patterns - you're going to love these quilts! The Basket block has many variations, and they're all swoon worthy. Whether they're pieced or appliqued, simple or intricate, the Basket block has been a staple block for quilters throughout history. To inspire and encourage you to design your own block/quilt, I've drafted up some of my favorites - please note these examples are for inspiration purposes only, there are no patterns provided. Adding extra HST's to the Basket creates a fuller block that is pretty and fun. Both examples would be great for scrappy quilts or to use in the centre of medallion quilts. It's a simple variation that creates a lot of impact! I also like the extended handle of these two blocks. It gives the basket more shape and these would be great for Easter projects - applique some eggs, flowers or a bunny in the basket and voila! With or without the handle, these two blocks are super cute. The HST's have been added to the basket base and aren't they gorgeous? The handle would be appliqued on, and you could design this yourself to suit the look you're going for! And finally, the flower baskets. How pretty are these two? I love them both, and next week I have a medallion style mini quilt pattern for you with one of these blocks as the centre feature! So fun! So there's just a few variations of the Basket block to inspire you. I hope it gives you some ideas for creating blocks of your own. To end this week's post, I wanted to share my four of my favorite Basket Quilt patterns with you. These quilts are stunning, and the best news - they're all free patterns! Here we go: {photo from American Patchwork and Quilting} Happy Baskets by Annette Plog is a stunning quilt with pieced blocks and appliqued handles. It's set with solid alternate blocks, and how stunning is that quilting? I love the colours too, so calming. You can download the free pattern for this quilt HERE. {photo from P & B Textiles} Berry Nice Baskets is a gorgeous pattern designed by Cyndi Hershey for P & B Textiles. These little baskets dance around the nine patches and its a clever and fun design. You can download a copy of the free pattern HERE. {photo from Marcus Fabrics} Basket of Scraps from Marcus Fabrics is another of my favorites. I love the shape of the baskets and the layout is so pretty. It's another pieced/applique style pattern and perfect for an Easter quilt. You can download the free pattern HERE. {photo from Henry Glass} Last but not least is the Savannah Garden Quilt by Mary Ellen Van Holt, which is super pretty and a beautiful example of basket blocks. Those applique flowers add something special to the design and those fabrics are heavenly! You can download the free pattern HERE. I hope these patterns inspired you! They're lovely quilts and any of them would be perfect for Easter or Spring. Don't forgot I re-released my Easter Basket quilt pattern on Monday!

Our guild is having a retreat this coming weekend so I am getting a few project ready to take. I loved the Butterflies quilt pattern by Laundry Basket Quilts the first time I saw it and had to make it. I used batik fabrics from my stash and spent the weekend tracing and cutting out the butterflies. My husband even joined me at the kitchen table and traced about half of the butterflies for me! I have all the blocks fused and ready to applique down at the retreat. The one thing I’m trying to decide on is do I embroider the antenna or drawn them on? I embroidered a few already but I wasn’t enjoying the process and my friend Ardelle mentioned she just drew hers on. I’m liking that idea more and more! I have all 30 blocks ready to applique down with invisible thread at the retreat. That should take me awhile. See my post on the finished quilt here!

Introduction: How I didn't invent a quilt block :-) When Gabrielle from Gabrielle Neil Designs asked me if I would like to make a quilt using her gorgeous upcoming Heartsong collection, of course I had to say yes. But what pattern could I use? I knew that I wanted to use a new design so I did some scribbling on graph paper and came up with what I thought was a brand new (never seen before) quilt pattern design! Long story short, it turns out my scribbles weren't a brand new never seen before pattern but actually very similar to a traditional Alabama Block. :-) But I loved it so much, I decided to make a tutorial for it- which then quickly turned into a pattern. You can find it here! (if you downloaded this anytime on Wednesday 30 June, grab an updated version now :-) Fat quarter friendly, this quilt comes together super quickly with lots of nicely nested seams - and the end product reminds me a bit of a fancy Irish Chain quilt. The pattern includes instructions for two sizes of blocks. When making the bigger blocks, you need two fat quarters per block, however because you end up with a much larger quilt overall, the number of fat quarters needed compared to the final size of the quilt is comparable (eg for the big blocks, a 69” square quilt requires 18 fat quarters, whereas for the medium blocks, a 72” square quilt requires 16 fat quarters. The medium blocks use up almost the entire fat quarter - how's that for fabric efficiency? Here are the fabric requirements: And of course I have kits available! What sort of fabric shop would I be if I didn't ? :-) Surveyors Wife Quilt Kit Cassandra of Tulum Quilt Kit I hope you love making this pattern as much as I enjoyed making it- don't forget to use the hashtag #sgalabamablockquilt and don't forget to tag me- @scribblygumquiltco @jozmakesquilts Alabama Block Quilt Pattern Happy quilting!
