Susie's Flower Baskets

This cute Flower Basket quilt was fun to work on.

 Susie does such a nice job of piecing.  Originally I was going to do the same design in each basket, but that idea changed quickly, and I mixed it up.  I like the variation it added. 

 I love the swirls on this basket, and all I did was follow the design in the fabric,

 This shows the accent I put into the outer border.  I was inspired by this quilt made by The Quilted Pineapple.

I seem to get the best photos when the quilt is on my frame, that is why most of them are sideways.  Anyway, you get the idea of the quilting and texture whichever way they sit.

I am feeling more caught up lately, which is a good feeling.  Isn't it always about balance?

And these last two pictures that shows other parts of my days,

And I made two of these darling dresses.  I call the bottom ruffle the "one hour ruffle"  Seriously this ruffle took me an hour to put on, and I like to think that I know what I am doing when it comes to sewing.  This little dress is very full, and it is a long way around, but an hour?  And, because I am making two of them, yep, another hour for that one as well.

I can hardly wait to see the girls in these dresses!

Thanks for reading, I appreciate it!
