quilt every day ... or not

This month I got about a week's worth of quilting in and here are the results:

Nine fusible appliqué basket blocks for May. They're cut out and ironed down, but not all stitched yet.

Here's a closeup of one of the blocks. Check on the CBQ website this weekend to download the pattern if you'd like to make them.

Quilt Every Day participants who would like to share what you worked on in April, please tell me about it and share a link in the comments section of this post.

Anyone is welcome to join in! All you need to do is set aside 10 minutes each day to work on a quilt project of your choice (or knitting or scrapbooking or whatever you have that needs getting done). It could be a UFO you've been meaning to get around to or something completely new. If you miss a day or two, that's OK (I missed most days this month, but still got quite a lot done). The point is that although 10 minutes may not seem like much on its own, when you add them all up at the end of the month your accomplishments will be amazing! Just check in on my blog at the end/beginning of each month and share a link to what you worked on in the comment section of the Quilt Every Day blog post for that month.

happy quilting! ^_^

I always love your baskets -- new and different and FUN every time!

I have been quilting every day, but I retired April 1, so it doesn't count. I actually have time (though it's amazing how many things are already creeping into my schedule...)!

This is a totally charming pattern, Laura. Here's hoping you get more daily time to work on it.

Most days I actually worked much longer than 10 minutes, and after I resolved to do it I think I only missed two days. Anyway - I managed to complete the hand quilting and make the binding for a baby quilt I've been working on. Hurray! I also made a new purse but that isn't quilting.

What great May Day baskets! Ok, I'll try again in May, since this is the 1st. Surely, I can do at least 10 minutes each day.

Your baskets look great. Looks like a fun project going on for you.

I love this idea but sadly have no time to sign up. I already signed up for the Take a Stitch follow up challenge and have failed miserably. I always think I'm going to have the time to partipate but never do. I did get a pictorial quilt of my church done in one week for our centennial homecoming celebration yesterday. It's on my blog--fastest quilt I've ever done!

I just love baskets with flowers. They make great quilts with so much variety.
