Seems like I always have a little help when I am playing with blocks...and today is no exception! Here is where I am on the baskets...I made some progress this morning. Lots more colors than this will be included; this will be a long term project. I still have 8 more blocks cut out....maybe 200 or so in the quilt when it is finished.
This is how many Klosjes I made! This is really an inventory...of every fabric I own. This is what I have. I will have to check, double check, triple check when I do the final layout...I found so many mistakes, misturned blocks, and colors too close together. I may enlist y'all to help me with that!!
I am so spoiled, just want you to know!! Lyn of bluebird quilts sent me an early birthday present...wow, I am just delighted! You can't really see those gorgeous fabrics she sent, but they will all go in my Dear Jane quilt. Thank you so much, Lyn!! I at last have my own measuring tape, thanks to Lyn!Other than that, I have been sewing nine patches! And that is great fun...I will show you soon!!
Have a wonderful day,
Julie

Whaawwww lovely klosjes and baskets.
You klosjes are amazing. I'm sure no matter how much you check when it is made there will be 2 of the same colour together. It is one of the mysteries of life LOL. Happy early birthday Julie. Have a nice day.
Both quilts are great...love the spools on point! Have fun working on the 9 patches...I did a bunch yesterday and had so much fun!
Oh goodness, Julie, I adore your basket blocks! And so SMALL---are those out of a pattern book? And your spools blocks are gorgeous! I had started some of those hmmmm way back when? The baskets, spools, bear paw, and churn dash are my absolute favorite blocks. I think I have to find a basket pattern and make a few. And maybe make another spool block or two? :) When is your birthday, dear girl? So I won't miss it, happy birthdy!! Lovely treasures you received. :) Is that a tiny basket with your measuring tape attached in it? Wouldn't that be a wonderful idea? My dear friend Flannie has sheep, and she has a tape measure that is rolled up inside a sheep pocket. I keep looking at it trying to figure out how to make one. Just adorable! I'm so sorry about your sister. Will send her healing thoughts and prayers.
I adore the baskets and am glad to see you made more red blocks.
Personally I think the spools are so busy you shouldn't worry too much about color placement. It will look great no matter what!!
The pic of your spools is darling. How do you pronounce "klosjes"? How big will your spool quilt be when it is finished? I saw some of MINE in there! How fun is THAT??
Have a great day. Is it YOUR birthday??
