Today was the day for sewing my basket quilt together.
Step one was to rotary cut all the basketblocks to the correct size.
Step two was to start doing a layout and start sewing it together.
But what…..no sewingmachine!!! I am waiting for my new Janome Horizon coming late january. My “old” sewingmachine is sold and is packed in its box ready to travel.
But luckily I still have my “very old” Janome 4800 that still works perfect. I actually had forgotten how good it is. Of course Rusken has to supervise all the sewing.
And the quilt starts to grow…..
and grow…….
Rusken is always giving me a helping paw with the layout
and he is supervising it all the time
I had counted the number of blocks over and over again, but still I was wondering if I had made all or to many blocks. But I had the exact number to sew the quilt together.
And now the quilt is hanging in my sewing room just to be admired. I really love it. Have always wanted to make a red and white quilt and I love baskets. Now I have to decide whether I am going to handquilt it or machinequilt it. Think it will be machinequilted when I get my new sewingmachine and have tried it out on other projects.
Now I am doing a happy dance having this top finished, and later I will relax with some english paperpiecing while watching a good movie.

Nydelig! Jeg er virkelig imponert over hvor fort du har fått alle kurvene ferdig :-)

May, your quilt is really beautiful. I look forward to see how you decide to quilt it.
I have been following your blog for a while and am so inspired by the items you make.
congratulations on such a beautiful quilt! I love red and white quilts too and have one on my 'someday' list
This is just stunning...makes me want to sit by the fire and applique baskets now that the weather has gotten really cold!
It looks really lovely. I have been inspired to start making this quilt now from watching the Basket Quilt grow on your blog. Congratulations again. Helen
Helt underbar!!!!!!

Loved the colors when seeing the start of the baskets and middle block. But OH WOW, this is stunning piece and you did an out standing job. Love it!
Thank you for sharing
Åååh...helt underbar! Du inspirerar mig verkligen till en röd/vit quilt! Jättefin!
Wow, wow, wow!!!!! Well done May Britt!
Wonderful, your basket quilt.
A new sewingmachine, my dream. I have also Janome 4800 and i am still sewing on her since about 10 years. No problems. But the 7700 will be the Rolls Royce under all Machines.
Congratulation.
