Thanks Katie from Island Batik for arranging this fun hop.
It truly has been a hot summer and in the country. When I think of country I think of Baskets.
My fabric is from the melon grouping. This round topper shows all the beautiful fabrics.
I have to confess, I did not like it until I put the binding on. I have found that a lot of times I feel that way about an item but when that binding goes on....the transformation happens.
Since I started this months ago, it sat unfinished until two night ago. It was not the fabrics, I love love the fabrics especially the lime green (I know some of you are surprised....smiling)
Here it is at another angle. Did I tell you how much I love Island Batik Fabrics?
Did I tell you that baskets are my most favorite thing?
We can't stop there..... Why not a quilt??? Here it is laying on the floor. I was so happy that it does not wave.
Here it is on my wall rod. It is way to long....I am sad, I wanted to leave it up for a spell but it drags the ground and truly is way to big for my wall. Oh well...there could be worst things in this world.
These pictures do not do the quilt justice.
Here is my little companion on the week-ends, grand dog sitting. He would just sit and watch me.
I am offering Forty 5" squares. They will not be these exact squares but they will be a variety of Island Batik Fabrics. Just leave a comment

I have never sewn with Batik because I have never bought or been gifted any yet. I like the look of them. I just have never indulged. Karen kthurn@bektel.com
I love batiks! Your quilt is beautiful. Too bad it's too long to display. It's so cheerful!
Barb, your topper and quilt are amazing! Are the baskets needle turned?
I have had many projects that I feared would become UFO's because of this exact reason, what was I thinking! I really don't like this project... Then the moment it gets quilted and that binding goes on and it's finished you fall in love. I completely relate!
Good job on this one, it's really fun with those baskets and the colors you picked! Thanks.

Beautiful quilt and fabrics. Cute little dog too! Has he found a way into your heart, given you let him watch you in your sewing room?

Your baskets are just gorgeous. I hope that the machine problems are now a thing of the past for you, but you certainly do nice work when you are under a time crunch. I love sewing with batiks, but haven't tried the Island Batiks yet. I'll have to look for them in our area.
Love your fabrics. You can never go wrong with great batiks.
I love,love, love the topper. You definitely picked the right binding color, it pulls it all together

My own colors are usually more muted, don't usually go for brights, but your gorgeous quilt has converted me. It's stunning!
Cute!

I've had a project in mind for a while for batik charm squares. I love your quilt, it reminds me off eggs in egg cups as well as baskets.

Your baskets make my think of the little easter baskets that children collect eggs in on the hunts.
Love the colors you got and pretty nice idea too.....Ty for sharing....Happyness04431@yahoo.com

LOVE the table topper you made; those baskets are adorable and so is that rosette in the middle. Island Batiks make your projects glow. Wonderful!
Your quilt is great! I would love your squares! I'm sewing a scrappy quit and could use some new squares!

Love the quilt with baskets. I love batiks also.
Love your basket table topper. This would look fantastic in my kitchen. And, that "grand" dog looks like a real keeper. Not sure if I would let him go back home after the weekend.
Batiks are so beautiful. Your quilt is cute!
Ooh, I like both of them. My favorite is the quilt but I love the colors on the table topper. Your little granddog is cute too. Great job with the baskets. I don't think of baskets in the summer so much. I think of them in the spring time but whichever, I love baskets too.
What a happy colorful quilt!! Love it! I can't get enough batiks. :)

These little baskets are truly sweet and done up in the batiks really makes them special. I don't do Facebook, so could enter the rafflecopter giveaway, sigh, but I still have the beautiful bundle I won from you during the winter months. As a matter of fact, it's spread out on my work table this week while I ponder the possibilities!
Beautiful colors!
Aren't basket quilts fun? I have one that I work on, off and on, and every time I pick it back up it makes me happy.
