Sewing Weekend

I went to my best friend's for the weekend and we had a sewing day, it is amazing how much more fun it is sewing with your friends than just sewing alone.  I was able to make more progress on my Rachel's Basket quilt.  The quilt kit was a birthday gift from my friend a couple of years ago.  It has 18 basket blocks, which I have completed now and a bunch of log cabin blocks.  I worked on those this weekend.

The fabrics in this quilt are from the Wild Rose collection by Maywood Studios.  I absolutely ADORE them!  Before I ever saw this quilt I had started collecting fat quarters of this fabric line.   When I saw that quilt made up at a quilt shop close to Galveston TX, I litterally gasped.  It was breathtaking.  And while I was looking around the store, my friend snuck, is that a word?? lol, up to the counter and bought me the kit.  When she gave it to me, I was THRILLED!  It was my very first quilt kit.  I can't wait to finish it.
