![Basket Case Quilt, Cluck Cluck Sew_thumb[1]](http://cluckclucksew.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Basket-Case-Quilt-Cluck-Cluck-Sew_thumb1.jpg)
I sewed this top up yesterday and we took it out on a bike ride this morning to photograph. The sun was bright as you can see! I’m really happy with how this quilt came together…instead of all white background squares I made 7 blocks with a light gray background to mix it up a bit. The colors are all soft and muted except for some bright pops of orange, navy, and green.

The trickiest part of this quilt is matching the seams in the end…and the seams don’t nest or lock…so I pin the seams as I sew to help them match up a bit better.

The fabrics are a wide variety from my stash, and the pattern is Basket Case. I modified the pattern a bit as mentioned at the bottom of my last post.
And if you weren’t already feeling a little fall in the air:
we’ve got a little (or a lot) of orange in the garden already!

Love that quilt, especially your use of the gray blocks!
Am admiring your pumpkins too. What state do you live in? Can't seem to find it mentioned on your site although I've been following you via RSS feed for quite awhile, I can't remember.
Thank you for all your inspiration.
Jayme

Wow - pumpkins already! There's a hint of autumn about the quilt too - lovely lovely colour, and the grey just gives it a bit of extra depth.

I just couldn't come up with a better name CJ....I can sew them but I sure can't name them! So no monthly quilts for me! ;)

Hi Alison, I love your quilt top, so pretty and fresh. The few blocks with the grey background set it all off so well. Really lovely...
Brenda
I recognize several of the fabrics you used---I bought several prints in orange and turquoise to make your "Road Trip" quilt. My plan is to make two of them---one for Margaret's Hope Chest, and one for my gift closet---I work with several young women who are trying to have babies right now, so I picture a whirl of baby showers in the near future. Your quilt is beautiful.

Beautiful! I love the colors you have chosen.

Jan
Just beautiful!
Did you really say you sewed this ALL in one day? This would take me months and months. HOW?
Nita
Very pretty!
allison
No way Jan! I sewed just the rows together all in one day...I don't have the attention span (or time!) to sew a whole quilt in one day! ;)

I like how you kept your elements for blocks stacked, that is a great lesson in a photo. Thank you. It turned out lovely
--- if I were a bit of that fabric I would be thrilled with myself;)
Tammy

This is one of your best patterns .You know a pattern is great when you want to make it again and you can envision it in many fabrics. I just made it with Happy Go Lucky for our local shop and it is adorable.Thanks for sharing.
