Relief! The baskets and stars is done!

Yesterday I finished the machine applique on the borders, and pieced and cut the corner blocks.    I decided in the end to do applique on the bottom corners only, as this will be going on her bed, and a pieced corner block in the upper border.  This morning I sewed on the borders and its strippy stars and baskets bottom cornerdone done done.  This quilt came sooo close to being a permanent UFO – and now its another top to be quilted.  The quilting will be fairly easy as I know my Mom likes the fluffy quilts, so I’ll use a high loft batting and very simple quilting, or even machine tying.

So now I have a few tops to quilt – the mini red and white, nine patch and stars, the wonder blocks/somewhere in time (I had forgotten that one until now!), and the baskets and stars.  Hmmm…now I think my list of tops is too long!
