For the Candy Baskets Quilt I have used a selection of Red and White prints, I have always wanted to make a red and white quilt. I made the bias with a 1/2 inch bias tape maker for the handles and stitched them on with a small zig zag stitch and invisible thread. You could also hand stitch them in place. (Always nice to have hand stitching in front of the telly at night)
This sweet little quilt 'Candy Baskets' measures 32 inches x 32 inches finished.
So much fun sewing all the these lovely blocks. Only squares and triangles, they go together easily.
I have already found a home for this sweet quilt in my guest bedroom, on top of my old singer treadle machine.

Happy Stitching

Hi Leeanne
I have always wanted a slideshow header and finally got it. I love it too ! Yes there is definitely a chill nice to have the fire going while quilting, not feeling so guilty about the garden LOL.
Hi Maureen
This little quilt fits perfectly on my old treadle, thanks for the kind words.
How to press a Flying Geese Border ? This is the question I was asked so I have done my best to answer as it is not exactly what you might be expecting to see. Read more to see how I pressed the seams to get nice flat intersections.
Making four Flying Geese units at a time is a great time saver, and a wonderful method. I love to oversize the units and trim them down to the correct size for perfect blocks. Read how I go about making these versatile units that I use in almost every quilt I make.
