Provence Baskets

Sticking with my goal to finish one "almost done" project per weekend, I got the borders sewn on to my Provence Baskets quilt.  You may recall that when I was piecing these blocks, I felt that they were very far removed from my usual palette, and had quite a few doubts that this quilt was "me".  Well, I must be reinventing myself, because I have ended up being very fond of this cheerful quilt!  I have a plan to use it in my sewing room once it is quilted, and will re-do the entire decor in that room around its color scheme.  I found a little cracked china mosaic vase this weekend that will be the perfect accent piece. 

This sunny color scheme will brighten the darkest winter day.  Even if I have to sit at the Bernina and stitch 800 half square triangles, the task will go easier with this quilt at my side cheering me on.

  3. You aren’t going to believe this! When I was looking at the photo of this gorgeous quilt (before I scrolled down to the next photo), I was thinking “This reminds me of chickens.” Then I scrolled down to the chicken vase. I love the Provence pallet.

  13. It is great to be able to sew in a nice bright environment 🙂
    I’m stuck with the kitchen table but I do like having things going on around me.
