Last year, July 1st, was 92F. This year was wayyyyyyy more comfortable.
I also finished the last basket block. I had hoped to find more of the brown basket fabric to do something in the borders but it looks like I used it up on something else. Time to come up with another plan...
I think the baskets are more obvious in the design on the left but there is a cool 3D design on the right. I can certainly make another quilt with the 2nd layout (it takes longer to cut out all the fabric pieces than to stitch them) so I guess I just need to pick one and run with it. The third, un-photographed, option is to put the baskets on point by adding large corner triangles. I might end up doing eeny meeny miney moe unless inspiration strikes before the weekend is over...
My last year's temperatures were much hotter than this year. I like the baskets.

We are having a lovely, overcast 4th. The meteorologist (they aren't weathermen and women anymore) on the news said it was the 4th coolest in the last 30 years--but at 78 degrees, it doesn't seem "cool"--just not HOT. :)
ReplyDeleteBoth options looks great, so I'm looking forward to seeing which one you picked. Yay for comfortable temperatures!
