Changing up a Traditional Basket Quilt Block

From The Quilt Ladies

The last basket quilt block was very straight forward and simple. I took another look at it and here is what I did to it !  Finished size is still eight inches by eight inches.

Quilts Around my House – Quilt Patterns too

I had an email and the question, “How can you do it all?”  Easy, I LOVE IT all. Hours seem like minutes and days seem like hours, I have found my groove. I do work 3-4 hours a day at everything and I love it. I enjoy what I do and who I am. This has taken me the past year to figure out. I went to my core because of what I thought I knew was turned on it’s head. But, I did it and I am better today than yesterday. So, here’s a sample of the Quilt Ladies Quilt Pattern Shop ~ TAKE a LOOK !

As with children, no favorite…. BUT this quilt pattern is NAMED after ME…. Maybe a favorite ??  B. Annie Quilt Pattern
