Butterscotch Baskets Meets Thimbleberrie's

 
Hello Everyone,
 
Just add borders and she's ready to be quilted.  I'm very pleased with my Butterscotch Baskets made in Lynette Jensen's Autumn Landscape fabrics.
 


There is going to be a triple mitered border on this one......so I'm not out of the woods just yet.  I have to request the border fabric from RJR once I decide on the fabrics.  What I thought was going to work, isn't going to work.  All of my precise border planning was futile.

How many times have you bought border fabric and in the end put it back in the cupboard?   I'm guilty several times over.

The 8am baseball game of the day has been cancelled due to wet, soggy fields.  I doubt that the fields will dry up in time for the 11am game.  Looks like it's going to be a day of quilting for me!  I'll miss seeing the kids and cheering them on, but having some extra time is a real gift that I'm going to open slowly and use wisely.

Soon,
Lynn

    The front is very beautiful! I wonder what fabric you choose for the border ... I would choose one of the already used beige or sand with small print or solid and binding on the dark, which you used in windmills. But it would choose me. You choose certainly better, Lynn! :)

    Oh Lynn - it really did turn out wonderful - I love the lighter version almost as much as my favorite cheddar version you made! I'm sure you'll have just the right borders! Bummer about the rain - we have it here today, too --- great sewing weather!
    Cheers!

    Just beautiful. Hope you show it with the borders, before quilting and again after quilting.

    This is just so gorgeous. I know what you mean about borders. I often choose them after the centre is done!

    That is a wonderful quilt, Miss Lynn!! I'm going to have to go and check my patterns: I think I have it, but need to make sure I doesn't get by me!!:-) And I finish so few quilts that the border fabric usually sits in it's box!! :-) Hugs, H
