SUMMER IN THE COUNTRY blog hop hosted by ISLAND BATIK!!

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.

 Did I tell you I just finished this last night?  Boy, I am full of confessions.  I have had nothing but machine trouble.  Notice the post before this one and you will see why.  The top also was done months ago and just sat around waiting for me to fix my machines.

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
