To make the Baskets look baskety I still am with my original butt in advice to cut each set of 4 baskets apart and mix them all up, reassemble with narrow sashing, no cornerstones.<br /><br />lizzy lizzzz.d@gmail.comLizzy Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13925662100321427762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-49526028115970746752018-03-04T18:39:31.977-08:002018-03-04T18:39:31.977-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Lizzy Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13925662100321427762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-31022646179300153042018-02-28T18:59:32.650-08:002018-02-28T18:59:32.650-08:00So interesting the way you approached building you...So interesting the way you approached building your "cameo" quilt center - cameo is the first thing that came to mind when I saw the first photo. The sashings add coherence to the postage stamp baskets and let each of the blocks shine on its own. They look happy now ;-) Quilting Babciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16225825007525655805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-69773125600356566412018-02-28T17:03:09.009-08:002018-02-28T17:03:09.009-08:00Your mind must be swirling.

I think the sashing is the perfect solution. Using the soft beige colors makes the baskets do what you intended them to - sparkle!

I would be tempted to try a straight set column layout with vertical sashings just to see how it looks. Or maybe incorporate the word baskets in the borders ...Quiltdivajuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15593385265961892847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-76607126886468494222018-02-28T06:24:10.766-08:002018-02-28T06:24:10.766-08:00I like your thinking!

It can be disappointing when a quilt won't let you do what you wanted, but the sashing works beautifully - I like that you are using more than one fabric for it too. And for me it feels like that mix of improv and something very traditional makes a perfect Audrey quilt.Kajahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08417544341324291385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-84329677245097458462018-02-28T06:00:15.299-08:002018-02-28T06:00:15.299-08:00I love the postage stamp basketsI love the postage stamp basketsKaren - Quilts...etc.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07293429657903986492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-32126700975423978462018-02-28T05:47:51.585-08:002018-02-28T05:47:51.585-08:00I like the shape of the "oval" that your...I like the shape of the "oval" that your applique flower is sitting on.

I enjoy your style, your words, your photos, your attention to detail to share the path with us. I can still tear up when I recall the post about the fire quilt and it hanging in the back of the show. Your style is beautiful, distinct and speaks to me. I love quilt reference books and bring home all that I find. Do you have New Discoveries in American Quilts, Robert Bishop? (1975) I just picked it up and there is a quilt in there from 1865 (est.), it has your name written all over it. It could have just come out of your hoop. I immediately said "Audrey"! I'd love to share a photo of this page with you but I couldn't find your email address anywhere. <br />Fondly, Rondi<br />rondiquilts@yahoo.comrondiquiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02427819258052227241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-71280419519867942572018-02-28T03:57:00.162-08:002018-02-28T03:57:00.162-08:00Mixing the large scale print with several olive fa...Mixing the large scale print with several olive fabrics both blends and contrasts the Coin background. Always admire your oversized flower appliques. Thanks so much for explaining your process. <br />You and Robin have some exciting snowballs building - just in time for spring. Not only do we get to watch you build yours but we also get to see how you both work with them. <br />Your baskets are the perfect lesson in letting the quilt speak rather than forcing the original idea. <br />Thanks for linking another insightful post with AHIQ.
