Baskets of Fun Free Quilt Pattern by Wendy Sheppard
Description:
Baskets of Fun brings twenty pieced cats together in a 57-by-68-inch quilt featuring Make Merry fabrics. Each cat sits above a basket with a contrasting handle and bow, with mirrored block arrangements changing the direction across the quilt. Five rows of four blocks are separated by narrow sashing. Four borders frame the center, giving the cat and basket blocks a clearly defined setting while carrying the collection into the outer edges.
