Time for a giveaway! Scrappy Baskets Quilt Pattern
Scrappy baskets Quilt was such a fun quilt to make, using my scrap bin to make the basket blocks. I love getting into the rhythm of sewing when making a pieced quilt, with my favorite music playing, or a great audiobook to listen to while stitching. I find each quilt has a story of where and what I was doing at that point in time, it's like keeping a diary of my daily life in my quilts. While making Scrappy Baskets Quilt I was trying out a new technique for making half-square triangles, learning to be more random with my fabric choices and enjoying the process.
To win the Scrappy Baskets Quilt Pattern leave a comment telling everyone what you like to do or listen to while piecing your quilts?
Happy Stitching

I ’m so impressed that this beautiful quilt is a scrap quilt. I listen to the classics when quilting. Any other steps in quilting are done in silence for concentration. I also just enjoy the quiet.
It depends on what I’m doing as to what I listen to. If I really have to concentrate, I listen to Christopher Parkening, classical guitar, or ocean sounds. If I need a bit of pepping up and am doing something that doesn’t require a lot of concentration, I listen to ZZ Top or David Lee Roth. Then there are times that I don’t listen to anything but the hum of my machine. Ahhh…
I listen to music while machine piecing mostly spiritual. I have lots of CD’s with Elvis Presley and the Gaithers quartets and gatherings. I find it very relaxing and moving – something to concentrate on other than my aches and pains. Always love seeing your quilts. Thanks. Kay H

TV programs mainly
Lovely pattern Sharonand thanks for the chance to win it! I do like to have company while I sew…sometimes it’s just the radio…over the last little while it’s been Downtown Abbey or Outlander on DVD :-)
I usually listen to music while quilting.
I love these scrappy baskets! If I am piecing at the machine or stitching at my antique floor frame, I’m listening to oldies music. if I’m hand piecing or stitching in the hoop, I’m usually watching TV. thanks for this opportunity!
My favorite basket quilt, the colors are perfect!
Love the look of this quilt. Love the fact you can use scraps to make it. I have lots of scraps saved.
I know a lot of people watch TV while quilting, but I prefer to listen to audio books – usually one a week which really adds to the amount of reading I consume in a year! Love it!
I listen to Tommy James and the Shondells music!
Just keeps my creativity flowing and my seam ripping not so bad!
Always have CNN on the TV. I’m a news junky. LOL
I love so many of your quilts, including this one. I have just enjoyed your making circles video and looking forward to more of the same.
I enjoy listening to audio books with my ipod hooked up to speakers while I quilt or iron – was doing this one day when the book I was listening to came to a bit of an unexpected sensual moment, just as my young teenage son was walking past. I have never reached for the pause button more quickly.
Thank you for creating and inspiring, long may it continue. :-)
I quilt “quietly” because I need to concentrate on what I am doing!
I love the scrappy basket quilt. Baskets are one of my favorite to make. I watch TV but get distracted thinking about all the projects awaiting my attention. I would love to have your Scrappy Basket to add to my to do list.
The basket pattern is one of my favourites. Done is scraps makes it that much better.
I don’t listen to anything when I’m doing something that requires concentration. I find even music to be too distracting.
Thanks for the opportunity to win a beautiful pattern.

I listen to podcasts, eg Pat Sloan’s quilt related podcast, or cooking, or science, plus many others.
It varies. Some days I open the window and listen to the birds chirp, or enjoy the silence. Other days I like to quilt with familiar tv shows on in the background; something I can pay scant attention to, but can follow along with because I’ve seen the episodes before.
Love your quilts! When I’m quilting, I usually like to listen to a Christian radio station in the States called K-Love.
I enjoy listening to podcasts from NPR… currently Serial Season 2. Sometimes my quilting distracts me and I have to go back and play it again. ?
I usually listen music or have the tv playing in the background.
I like to listen to the news in the morning and evening on TV-the rest of the time I prefer silence! Thank you, Susan
The basket quilt is lovely.
I listen to Jane Austen videos while sewing. I have seen them many times so I don’t have to pay much attention. Hearing the witty dialogue is almost as good as sewing with a friend.
I listen to 70’s rock music from Directv mostly. It’s up beat and I know most of the songs.
Most often it’s classical music or Big Band era 40s on Pandora, but sometimes I listen to BYU devotional speeches. If I’m doing handwork, I might be listening to old Star Trek episodes! Thanks for a chance to win this lovely pattern. I’m a great fan of basket quilts, and this one is a beauty!
Basket quilts are my favorite and yours is
calling my name! I usually listen to oldies
from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. Love your patterns, thanks for a chance to win the
Basket pattern.
First of all, I love, love basket quilts, they are my favorite. When I am piecing my quilts I listen to Celtic music and when my eyes are tired I sit with a cup of coffee and puruv through my quilt mania books and dream off all the ones I want to do!!!
Last winter, I enjoyed reruns of Little House on the Prairie while sewing.
I either listen to audiobooks or to quilty podcasts.
Love the basket quilt – especially love the way you used the stripe fabric. I listen to books on tape while in my sewing room and usually go through several books a month.
Greetings from So. California – USA
Your quilts are lovely and I would love to have your way of putting fabrics together. While sewing I usually “watch” recorded tv. Sometimes, I just enjoy silence though.
When I`m making a quilt while cutting out things need to be quite as don`t want to make a mistake or cut myself. Once that`s done I sometimes watch TV or a video of my patchwork ones. I do like talking books as well. Mainly sew when family out.
I love basket quilts and one day with my scraps I will make one as your`s is lovely. A great way to use the scraps up before adding more to the pile :)
Thank you for this chance in your give away.
Happy Stitching
I listen to oldies 60’s ish music, and blues. Sometimes I listen to mindless TV if my ipod needs charging. My mind wanders too much while I sew for me to watch a movie or listen to a book.
I love your scrappy basket quilt. I like to listen
To Van Morrison when I’m studying, writing or quilting.
That is an amazing basket quilt, scrappy in my kind of colors, perfect, love it!
I listen to music!! From country and fifties to “plancha” music! Thank you!!
I prefer quiet while I am sewing. love the pattern. thanks for sharing
Wow, I love the basket quilt…….and its all pieced….great!! The quilt is awesome. When I am quilting, I usually have the TV on just for noise. I don’t watch anything, but hear all the news of the day.
I listen to my IPod, which has many types of music on it. I like the variety of it. Or, I might have the TV on and listen to news, crime stories, home remolding or maybe rewatch a Hallmark movie. I sometimes get sidetracked with whats on TV, but that’s OK. I just spend more time in my sewing room then.
I usually listen to recorded tv shows. Of late, I sew in silence just listening to the birds and outside sounds.
Thanks for the opportunity to say Thank You for inspiration and fun! I listen to TV shows that ice recorded. My DH says I listen to TV. Lately I burn a candle and sew in silence listening to the birds and outside sounds.
I binge watch my favorite TV Shows. My favorite is NCIS.
This basket quilt is simply charming! I have always wanted to make a basket quilt…
I love to watch Investigation Discovery or History channel while I am quilting…..
I listen to books on tape as I cut and sew. Lovely quilt.
Happy Quilting from Kansas USA. Basket quilts are one of most favorite quilt patterns. I can just imagine quilters of the past getting excited to design a quilt with lovely baskets of all kinds. When I am working on my quilt projects whether hand applique or machine piecing, I love to listen to National Public Radio. Keep up the great work.
I find I can’t do too much while I’m piecing …. too much concentration going on!! Hahaha! Listening to an audio book is totally out of the question. What I usually listen to is: 1) country music; 2) sports on TV, in particular St. Louis Cardinals baseball or any of the major tennis tournaments; or 3) just total, lovely piece (intentional!) & quiet, alone with my thoughts and the wonderful process of piecing a wonderful project!
Sometimes I listen to talk back radio, but what I really like to do is sit in silence and let my mind wander and just enjoy the moment with needle and thread
I usually listen to the news while I quilt.
I love this quilt.
When I sew I get in complete relaxation mode
I listen to Enya or Bond and burn a relaxing scented candle. It just makes the time more precious.
Your quilt is wonderful, I really like the scrappy look of it. I either listen to T.V., or now that I finally entered the 21st century, I have started to listen to my “new this year” MP3 player that I have been downloading music to. Lol. I also occasionally listen to Sirius Radio as well. Thanks for the draw.
Love your blogs! Hello from USA
Soothing background music.
I like to listen to classical music or audio books.
I would love to win this pattern! I absolutely adore basket quilts, they are my favorite. Your finished quilt is gorgeous, love it. Thanks for a chance to get your pattern.
I listen to country music on the radio or I will listen to oldies on my cd player.
I love scrap quilts and your Scrappy Baskets quilt is perfect. I would love to know what technique you used to make the half square triangles? When I’m piecing a quilt I like to play a movie I’ve seen before so I don’t really have to watch it much just listen, I also listen to music.
I tend to play country music when I am sewing.
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.

I usually listen to sewing/quilting podcasts while I sew. When I’m all caught up, I’ll listen to my favorite music stations on Pandora.
