Welcome to the second week of the Friendship Quilt along with Moda Designers. Thank you for stopping by and don’t forget to visit Kathy Schmitz and Lauren & Jessi Jung today as well!
I hope you have been following along this Blog Hop and collecting all of the Signature Blocks, they are 9″ finished and a lot of fun to make.
This one is mine, click here or on the block above to get the directions to make this cutie. Each block has a 3″ finished square that is perfect for a signature.
Lately I have been in love with basket quilts and I have created quite a few with my Paint Box Collection from Moda that will arrive in stores this Spring.
I have made some little baskets – like this “Petite Pail”.
Some big ones like “Paint Basket”.
Some with applique in “Scrappy Basket Trio” and even some from tiny patches for the “Shaker Basket”.
“Flower Box” has the glow of an 8 point star and an applique border.
I have always enjoyed baskets and especially sharing them with friends. Making this friendship basket quilt many years ago with my friend Dominique from France was so much fun. We each made baskets and exchaged them to add variety to our quilts.
I decided to use this little basket for the center of my block as a signature stamp by reducing the size to 3″ finished.
To make one of these baskets you will need:
2 light squares 1-1/2″
2 light half square triangles cut from 2-7/8″ square
1 dark half square triangle cut from 2-7/8″ square
2 dark half square triangle cut from 1-7/8″ square
1 dark strip cut on bias 1/2″ x 4″ for handle.
5″ squares are perfect to cut this block - Charm Pack friendly!
I use a bias tape maker and card stock template to create the handle for the basket.
First I made my handle with a bias tape maker and fusible tape.
I then place my template on background triangle, pin handle on one side then fuse it in place following the template.
Allow the handle to cool and piece the basket together. Once the block is assembled, I then applique the handle to the background. I find it is much easier to applique the handle after the block is assembled (easier to hold than a small triangle).
This is how my block looked when completed using the little basket as my center.
I have always enjoyed friendship signature quilts. This pair are some of the oldest quilts that I own and are two of my favorites.
Often I look at these quilts to read the names from the blocks wondering what significance they were for the quilt maker - Family? Friends? I’m sure there was a special meaning for each one of them.
I am so very lucky that my friends from Pennsylvania exchanged friendship blocks with me that I assembled into this quilt. I miss them very much and I am very glad to have this quilt to remind me of them.
A simple triangle quilt can also become a friendship quilt like the ”Triangle Star” above. I created it using all of the triangle that I received from all my TQS friends - Sisterhood of the Traveling Triangles.
I love applique and couldn’t help myself from signing this block from my Family Tree Quilt, another great idea for a friendship quilt.
Have fun collecting, making, and sharing all of the wonderful friendship blocks from this Blog Hop. Click here for the full schedule of Moda designers in this Friendship Hop.
I love to hear from all of my friends out there! Please leave me a comment by March 1st - maybe share the special plan for your friendship blocks or just say “Hi”! We will randomly choose 3 winners to receive an “Paint Box” Collection prize to help you finished your friendship projects.
Happy Quilting!
Your Friend,
Edyta
What beautiful pictures. And what glorious fabrics. Can’t wait to start making blocks.
Thank you!
Hi Edyta,
I just love the Triangle Star quilt & your friendship block! I plan on making the blocks into individual wall hangings & taking them to a local Elder Care home in my city. It gives me joy to see a smile on their faces as they realize that they are NOT FORGOTTEN! You fabrics are just beautiful too . . . I’d love to add them to my new projects! Blessings,
Laura

Thanks for the paintbox box of goodies as a giveaway I know I will have fun with it if I am lucky enough to win !
thanks!!!!

Your block is wonderful and all your quilts are stunning. Thank you for the great pattern for the little basket. Love how you use a template to make all the handles the same size. Your fabric bundles are gorgeous…thanks for the chance!
I love your basket block! Thanks for the tutorial on the clover bias tape maker and fusible tape–I’ve never seen either used so it was helpful. I’m making a basket quilt now that has 290+ baskets in it, all applique, and it’s a struggle to get my handles to be nice and circular.
I love everything you make and the fabrics you design are gorgeous-love the batiks with the reproduction fabriccs. What a cute applique block with the hearts-just darling. Saving these block patterns for the next friendship quilt I make. Thanks for the giveaway!
Wow! This the most gorgeous post, from the amazing antiques through the fabulous array of basket quilts to the unique and dazzling applique designs. What a great! I’ll be back for more. Thanks!
WOW! Thank you so much for sharing such beautiful photos and stories of these beautiful friendship quilts. I particularly like the part about making the basket handle. I love the look of applique and all the details that it can show but I’ve never tried it. I love the basket and by following your tips I think I could handle it. Add that to my list of things I want to try. Thanks for the chance.
Hi Edyta
I have your small diary for the year where I can flick and see a different quilting side to Edyta every week 
Your baskets are all just gorgeous. Love how you have personalised your block with the wee basket and your signature. Just shows how we can all make the same block and each will have our own personal signature/personality making them similar but oh so different.
Can’t wait to see your Paintbox fabrics in my local quilt shop. Your designs are so inspiring, and you make applique want to creep into everything I do.
Your quilts are always so inspiring and beautiful! And I love your tips about making the little basket handle… Your paintbox box fabrics are just gorgeous! Thank you so much for the generous giveaway!

Your quilts are stunning! I have just added your blog to my favourites.
Cheers Kathy

OK.. you have convinced me to try making a basket quilt again.. Yours is absolutely gorgeous.. the fabrics are so soft and yet bright looking. The tip on using the fusible tape on the handles is great. Thanks for sharing all your beautiful quilts and the hints and pattern.

I love your baskets! I may get brave and try one.
Oh my your photos are SO inspiring! I want to make a friendship quilt right now. I need to set up a plan to share blocks with my friends who are scattered all over. Thank you for your contribution to the quilty community, it is immense. Kristy
I peeked in at your blog, before leaving for ELOEA — and I love looking at all those signature quilts and your new fabrics. I have some muslin blocks, with signatures — haven’t quite decided what to do with them — they are in the “thinking” stage.
ELOEA are the biggest fans and friends of Edyta!!
Thank you for the host of photos! Your projets are lovely and that little basket in the middle of the block is adorable.
Hi Edyta! Thanks for sharing these quilts with us. I love how quilts hold so many stories and friendship quilts are ones that hold the most mystery. My first experience with basket blocks was so horrible that I stayed away from them for a while but it seemed that the quilts that offered the most inspiration were basket quilts. I just recently finished a quilt using basket blocks and I have another one in the works. I have really learned to love them. Thanks for the extra basket block. I think it will definitely find it’s way into a quilt. Have a wonderful week!
Thanks so much for the basket handle. I have had so much trouble with them and this just makes it look so easy. Thanks also for the give away.
Good morning. Thanks for the cute basket block! You and your beautiful patterns have taken me outside of my comfort zone in the quilting realm and I appreciate that. Thanks so much.
The Fabric and patterns are so beautiful!! Can’t wait to have some!!!
Hi Edyta, Your quilts and Paint Box line are beautiful! Thanks for the chance to win your super give away!

Hi, Edyta. I just love, love, love your quilts! Thanks for sharing your art with the world. Can’t wait to try this block and experiment with some of your other ideas.
I love your friendship block…especially the basket in the center! Thank you for sharing the pattern. I would love to complete my “Moda” friendship quilt and give it to my best friend so she can have hugs from me when she wraps it around.
What a beautiful post – the pictures are marvelous! I love your tiny basket idea for the center of your block. Thanks for the chance to win some of your lovely fabric :0)
Would love to win this collection! Thank you for the chance and all your lovely patterns and ideas!
“HI”, loved your parade of photos. Thanks for the block, I like the idea of the basket in the middle.
Gorgeous colors in The Paint Box fabrics!! Thank you for the tip for making the basket handles. I’d been avoiding the applique process for the handle but this tip will help. Each year, when our quilt guild president ends her year in office, the members make friendship blocks for a quilt. It’s a good remembrance and a thank you for a job well done.
Thanks for the chance to win some of your fabric, Edyta.
Thank you so much for sharing your basket handle technique. This pattern is fun cute; but somewhat intimidating for me. I’m anxious to try your method. Love your designs!!! jmh
Love all these pictures , especially the scrap little square one.
I have to confess in almost 45 yrs of sewing and quilting I have never made a basket anything. Thanks for yout technique and tutorial. It is never a disappointment whith your books and fabric line. Thanks for the chance to win some of your fabric. Thanks for the inspiration.
Your work is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Thank you also for a chance at winning the Paint Box fabrics so lovely.

baskets. You have done a beautiful job (as always) on your quilts.
Such beautiful fabric and I love all your pattern. What an awesome combination! Thank you for the chance to win this fabric bundle!
I would love to make a friendship quilt with the signature blocks for a friend of mine who has been going through a lengthy illness. It would really perk her up.
Beautiful work! I haven’t done much appliqué, but love the look. I might even give appliqué a try!
I love basket blocks too. The fabric is so beautiful and the tutorial is very helpful for the basket handles. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful and inspiring!

Your friendship blocks are the greatest! You can “feel” the friendship just by looking at them!
Your quilts are stunningly beautiful! I don’t really have a plan for the friendship blocks yet other than sewing them into a quilt. I am saving all the PDF files in a file on my computer. I might also sew some into pillows and bags as well.
Love your post !! Soo many beautiful pictures, you are such an inspiration. And I am loving the basket quilts as well
Love your center idea !!!! Would love to win some of your fabric !! THanks so much for the chance !!
I love baskets, flowers & spring time! Perfect timing, perfect inspiration! Thanks Edyta!

I love the idea of a signature quilt for our group while we are still able to meet and quilt. Thanks so much!
I love your fabrics, looking forward to the new collection! Baskets are my favorite block as well. Thanks for the great tutorials and giveaway.
I love your fabrics and have recently started quilting w/ batiks and I especially love how you combine then with the cotton prints!!!! Thank you for all you do for the quilt world!!!

Paulette
I planned on making my dear friend a quilt for Christmas this year. I know the colors that I am going with and this QA came at the perfect time. I met my friend, Jen, six years ago when my husband PCSed for the first time to Fort Riley, KS. She was my first true Army spouse friend. She became a sister to me and I miss he so very much. We we’re able to spend two years together before the Army moved her family to Fort Rucker. We PCSed to Fort Jackson, SC two years ago but just before we moved her family was PCSed to Fort Carson, CO. We were so close to being able to drive and meet in the middle.
We will see each other again soon and I hope she loves this quilt! thanks for the chance to win!
Your basket block looks fantastic in the center of the friendship block! Love the fabrics too! And thank you very much for the fusible tape tip! I never even knew it existed and it makes making thin strips with the bias tape maker so much easier!
I love the idea of the little basket in the center. Thank you so much for your great directions and all the beautiful pictures of your quilts. I love your fabrics!!
Your quilts and fabrics are just beautiful! I don’t know yet what my plans for the friendship blocks will be, but your post is very inspiring!
Love your beautiful fabric – I would love to win some too!
What a post!!! Made me want to go straight to my quilting room. I
Phyllis
Your basket is lovely thanks for showing us how! Beautiful fabrics too!
We exchanged signature blocks at our guild last year. I haven’t decided how to put them together. Would love to win some fabric to help with the decision.
Thank you for sharing your expertise and wonderful block. I love your hints and designs.
I just love your work. I will come to your blog more often. I really enjoyed the beautiful baskets you’ve been working on and I will try to make one too with your wonderful instructions.
Oh, the Paint Box… what striking colors!! Love your basket quilts!! What keepsakes. Beautiful utilization of batiks. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely love your fabrics and patterns. The new fabrics are lovely and the baskets are wonderful. Makes me want to sew, sew, sew!
Wonderful block and love all the photos of your quilts.
slrdowney at hotmail dot com
I love looking at your quilts. I’ve only done a little applique, but after looking at your quilts, I’m inspired.
So far I have just been collecting the blocks in a file on my desktop. They have all been so fun! Thanks so much for the basket tutorial–the handle template is genius!
Oh goodness! Those quilts are gorgeous. It is a good think I had a box of Kleenex by so I could wipe my mouth after drooling!
Thank you so much for the chance at the giveaway!
I’m dubbing for a while to start a basket quilt. Now I will. I love your baskets! lia.vandenbrand@live.nl
Those batiks are to die for!!! Oh the fun those could bring. Thank you for the opportunity
Thank you so much for the photos of how you have set your handle on the basket, I am going to try this for sure!
HI! Such beautiful work!
Thank you for a great giveaway too!
Wonderful block and even prettier fabric. Thanks for the tip about the basket handle. I have made baskets before and always struggled to get them placed properly. That will be very helpful next time.
Edyta, once again you have the best ideas on how to do things well and efficiently with beautiful fabrics. Met you years ago before you became famous at a Tiadaghton Quilt Retreat at Camp Susque. Even then it was evident that you were destined for great things in quilting. Have all your books and continue to follow your blog. What beautiful fabrics. Getting ready to do a triangle exchange with friends.
Sheila
Just love your new fabric line! Your friendship block will be fun to try!
So pretty! Love the Block and your fabric – Friends are the best!
Thanks for the chance to win
I love the antique quilts!!!
I LOVE your quilt and your elegant style.
Kiss from Italy,
Laura
Beautiful fabric – once again. I love basket patterns too – thanks for showing how you make your little basket block it’s so cute.
Beautiful fabrics and amazing quilts. Thanks for sharing your tips on the basket handle.
I plan to use some of the blocks to make a table topper for my son’s family. Some throw pillows for the kids, too. I plan to use their favorite colors with a monogram in the center.
I also love basket quilts and can’t wait to make one using Paint Box. The colors, as usual, are so beautiful.
Love your quilts and fabric, wonderful!
I love the basket block you made and it’s perfect for the friendship square. Nice idea using the fusible for your handle! Thanks for the sweet giveaway!
The block from your Family Tree quilt was ingenious–I love how the hearts formed a center star. I also love your use of colorful fabric. Thanks for the giveaway!
I love your designs and fabrics.
Love your new line of Paint Box fabrics. Can’t wait to make a basket quilt of my own. Thank you for all your inspiration!
What beautiful pictures! I have a fondness for basket quilts also but I make sure the pattern does not have an appliqued handle. I do not have the patience for doing that! Your work is wonderful.
your baskets look fabulous…thanks.
Love your baskets! I will probably do something similar when I make the friendship blocks. Thank you for the tutorial.
I like triangle quilt patterns. Your pictures are lovely and an inspiration.
Thanks for the block pattern and all of the lovely pictures. My quilting group dis a triangle exchange (thank you for the idea) and I have decided to make a quilt using some of the friendship blocks and the triangles. And, I can have my quilting friends who made the triangle blocks sign the friendship blocks. Your fabric and patterns are all so beautiful. Thanks for the chance to win.
Hi! I love basket quilts too. But I don’t think I’ve seen so many various designs in one post. It would be hard to choose a favorite. All of the blocks and quilts, and the fabrics, are gorgeous.
Gorgeous! Your quilts are colorful and beautifully done. Thank you for the wonderful ideas!
Your fabrics are gorgeous, your blocks are beautiful and I hope that when I am not working full time one day, I will be able to attempt more intricate patterns. I enjoy your daughters photography. It is wonderful that she has found this at her young age. Thank you for sharing your lovelies!
I love your quilts! I think I want to make a friendship quilt for my church and have all of the ladies in my prayer quilt ministry make a block for the quilt!
Love your patterns… It was love at first sight when I saw them last November at the Quilted Moose in Gretna, Nebraska! Happy patterns and fabric…a great combination! Thanks you!
I love your baskets and all those wonderful flying geese!
Thank you for sharing!
Would love to win some of your fabric. thanks.
Beautiful block. Love all your basket quilts.
Oh my. I love that friendship with the pinks, browns and blues! Amazing. I plan to gather all the blocks and then determine the best fabrics to use.
Thank also for the wonderful little basket block! So sweet.
OMG I love your Flower Box!
I am resizing the blocks smaller to make a wall hanging for my quilting room. I think it will be fun to have the different blocks, by different designers, displayed in my room for inspiration.
Such beautiful quilts!!!

Your work is gorgeous! I really enjoy just flipping through your books and admiring the quilts and photography. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for the pattern and the inspiration for friendship blocks. I am now thinking of the ways to use other patterns for friendship blocks.
There are some really pretty blocks in this hop. I am thinking of using them to make my grandson a quilt with them.

Wonderful baskets and your fabrics are gorgeous!
Hi Edyta, I have never made a basket block, but you make it look quite easy, I may give it a try. My applique skills need practice. I adore your Paintbox collection, thank you for the chance to win.
Mary
Hi Edyta, I love your technique for making the basket handle – how clever of you! I have many triangles from an exchange so the basket blocks will be perfect to show them off. Thanks!
I don’t have a special plan for the friendship blocks yet. I am waiting to finish up a few things first. Thanks for the chance to win. Love all the beautiful quilts!!!!!
Wow! Your quilts are so beautiful. I love baskets too. Thanks for the chance to win some of your lovely fabric!

Thank you!
Hi Edyta,
Saw you for the first time on the MODA video where you showed all your fabulous quilts and your block. I LOVED the precut applique pieces and plan on researching that more. Your quilts are so beautiful and I sure hope I get some of that gorgeous Paintbox Collection.
Love the basket block – something I haven’t tried yet…..
I am part of a small group of quilting friends and I think the friendship quilt is a great idea for us to work on! What a great variety of blocks to choose from…I am sure we can all find the ones we like best ( or make the final sampler design, perhaps) and each contribute a block to the other’s quilts. I love your applique blocks but am not very good at applique! But, I keep trying. Thanks, Judy R from Buffalo
Oh how I love your giveaway material. Hope to win. I thank you also for giving us a look on how to make your basket blocks. Coming to MI…maybe I could find you and say hello. Thanks again.
Beautiful Edyta!
Your basket quilts are beautiful! Thanks for sharing the pictures.

I love your baskets! I didn’t realize there were so many different basket patterns! Thank you for the inspiration!
Thank you! I love how easy you make basket handles look! I’ve been dreading the basket blocks because I don’t do curves very well. I can’t wait to give it a go!
Love the Paint Box collections so beautiful. I especially like your friendship block. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing and for the giveaway!
Nice quilts and beautiful fabrics! I used a lot of my friendship blocks a few years ago to make quilts for a house for orphans in Poland. I collected the blocks for years and did not find time to use them. It is a nice thought that there are a few children in Poland who will sleep under the quilts made with the blocks
Greetings from the Netherlands,
Marina Fluit
Hi,
The quilts look wonderful. Thanks for the chance to win the give-a-way.
What lovely friendship quilts you have in your collection, and how lucky you are to be able to work with such lovely fabrics before we even see them in the stores. I am sooooo jealous!
Beautiful quilts on your site. I have had a collection of fabrics of Shopping til You Drop in my closet for quite a few years. Keep getting sidetracked with baby quilts. But I think I will use some of the block patterns that I have been collecting and get this quilt finally made.
Your fabrics are absolutely beautiful. I just love them!
I have made a couple of signature quilts and love the idea of them. What memories they contain! I am a regular follower of your site.
Thank you!
Oh what a treat for the eyes! Your blocks ALL of them are wonderful I would just love to win the paintbox collection………………..Hubby would never get me out of this room!
Thanks for the block pattern and for allowing me to enter to win the fabrics
We had a Friendship triangle block exchange a couple years or so at my local quilt shop and I used quite a few of them in a ‘Rising Star’ quilt. I still have a few left and they would love to be utilized into a quilt project using your glorious fabric. I love your skill at combining applique and patchwork as well as regular cottons with batiks. Thanks for my chance to win!
Basket blocks are some of my very favorite blocks. Your baskets and wonderful fabrics are so beautiful … thanks for sharing with us, and thanks for the chance to win !!
Thanks for sharing your lovely block! I really like that so many of the blocks in this quilt along have a place for a signature.
Love the basket blocks!

Love the fabrics you use!!
Wow!! I am amazed by all of your beautiful quilts! Love your quilt block and looking forward to making this friendship quilt!
Cheers,
Colette
The Paint Box collection is fabulous. Thanks for all your tips today, too! I hadn’t thought about appliquing by handle on after the block was put together. I just I just thought about step by step by step, not the finished product. Many thanks for participating, educating, and inspiring us.
I love your quilts. They are so beautiful.
I absolutely LOVE the way you combine fabrics for your quilts!
Thanks so much for the tutorial on the basket. I love the suggestion of the bias tape maker and the template for the handle which has always been an issue for me.
I love everything you produce!

Love the baskets. Thanks for the chance to win some beautiful fabric to make my own baskets with.

Thanks for the tutorial on the basket handle! I love baskets, but have avoided them due to the problems I’ve had with the handles in prior projects, but those days are long past now. Here I come basket quilts!

I was really looking forward to your post and I wasn’t disappointed – great block and loved seeing all your friendship block ideas and photos!
I just noticed the quote on your blog about today’s quilts being tomorrow’s memories. I surely treasure the quilts from my Mom and Grandma and hope my girls will feel the same about mine.
Hi Edyta,
I love your fabric collections. Thanks for the free block pattern for the Friendship Quilt Along. I am hoping to create a friendship quilt for a dear friend of mine who has touched so many hearts with her story and courage!

Love the basket with the lone star flowers. I am still trying to master the lone star. I can use my leftover halves with baskets!
Thank you for the block pattern. Your quilts are gorgeous and I want to thank you for the tips on making the basket handles. I do use the bias tape maker, but now will look for the narrow fusible tape and make a template for the shape. It’s so nice of you to share.

The basket block is less scary now that I have seen it up close. Thank you!
I love your Family Tree pattern! I have been wanting to find something like this for my parents 50th anniversary quilt. This looks perfect! And adding in some special signatures would complete it all the better!
Thanks to Moda for this quilt along showcaseing many of my favorite designers. (You’re on my list. ) Unfortunately, I don’t have the time to frequent all of your blogs to see what you’re up to. I’m in some serious trouble when your fabrics hit the stores in April! Congrats, the new line gorgeous.
Your quilts are absolutely gorgeous. It is seeing things like that got me into applique. Thanks for the chance to win a prize.
What a great way to use your center blocks! Thanks for the tutorial. Love your designs.
Thank you for the giveaway. Love your designs.
I want to do a friendship quilt from friendship blocks from the kids in a lower income program at my church. All the quilts you shared. So many pretty pictures to look at and dream about. A short piece of scripture can fit in a 3 inch block too.
Your quilts & fabric are just beautiful. I’m new to your site– from the blog hop, and have added you to my list! I look forward to reading backwards and seeing more of your designs.

You come out with another one and I am challenged to think about which I love more … all over again. So, I’ve decided to love them ALL the old ones, the new ones and the ones you have yet to gift us with. Thank YOU for sharing your talent and your inspiration.
The Paint Box Collection is beautiful, and I would love to be a lucky winner of your fabric!

I will definitely buy a Bias Tape Maker & try my luck at making these sweet Basket Blocks! Thank you so much!
I love your fabric and quilts. I have only been making quilts for a year but have loved them for a lifetime. Thank You for sharing your quilts with all of us.

My head is spinning after seeing so many beautiful quilts, I love how you mix so many fabrics together, fabulous!
I love friendship quilts! I too sit and wonder who these people are and how they are related. Thank you for the lovely block!
What a beautiful quilt! I am just an enthusiastic amateur, doing my very best to make simple quilts. I would so love to use that fabric for something more challencing like your Friendship Quilt Along, because the blocks all look like I could actually make them!
Thank you for the opportunity.
Your quilts are so beautiful. The colors the style, the Baskets are my love too.
Being a Longaberger consultant I am in love with Baskets also. Loving the Blog Shop!
I’m normally don’t like batiks, but your post has given me a new look on them. Love how you mix them with more traditional fabric and the effect it has on the blocks/quilt! Terrific giveaway, thanks for the chance to win!
Love the fabric and the baskets. What a colorful post…thanks!
Hi ,from Spain.I l0ve your quilt and your fabrics choice.Thaks for the tutorial!
I love your block …and your quilts are amazing! Thanks for the chance to win.
I do so love all of your quilts and recently bought 2 Kits . Now all I have to do is muster up the courage to start them . I love the fabrics in your new paint-box line and would use them for these signature blocks if I’m lucky enough to win them.
Edyta, you make the most beautitul things. I’m always in awe. Thanks for this block and the idea of adding a basket (with instructions)! Have a great day.
Wonderful block….and then the little surprise basket to add as well! Even better! Thanks.
I absolutely love the little basket, thanks for sharing the pattern with us. And where did you get those fingerless mittens from your last blog post! I must have them!
WoW!! Your quilts are so amazing, I’m always left breathless and speechless when I see your quilts, so gorgeous! A group of us that were always taking the same classes have started our own little stitching group. It would be so neat for us to swap blocks and make our own quilts, I think I’ll bring it up when I see the girls. Thank you for your block and the pattern.
Thank you for an awesome giveaway and a chance to win some of your beautiful fabric. Three winners! Woot! Woot! You Rock!

Loved looking at your projects, they are wonderful. I also love your new fabric and can use them to do a project from your Laundry Basket Quilts book. Thanks you.
Paint Box is absolutely stunning!! Thanks for sharing the little basket and your creativity!!
Hello from Canada!!1 Thanks for your tip about making the basket handles – perfect!!! Love your featured quilts, the colours are beautiful.

I am inspired by your work and color choices.
Thanks for sharing with us.
I may have to get a bias maker. That looks handy.
I can hardly wait to see your new fabric collection. I just bought the Rainbow fat eighths. Thinking about using them in a pineapple pattern. Wahoo! This is going to be fun!
Cheers!
-Janette
Gorgeous fabrics, thank you!!
The quilts using your new fabric line are just so sweet. Thanks for sharing and giving us some great inspiration.
Beautiful quilts- love your color choices!
Words fail me!!! Your work is just beautiful and I want to grow up to quilt like you!
I love everything you do! There isn’t a quilt or fabric collection I don’t love of yours!
Love the baskets–always been a favorite of mine.
Your quilts are wonderful. Your fabric is outstanding. I would love to win the new line. Thanks, Nancy P.
Love the new fabric line great for baskets and flowers.
I love your patterns, books, fabrics and your work. Just lovely!! Can’t wait to see Paint Box in the shops.
Love, love, love basket blocks!! What a great idea to make that your center. I am loving the laser cut applique pieces from your line – it’s absolutely beautiful! I’ve never made bias tape with the fusible and not sure how that went in there all at once, I’ll have to explore that tip. Your photos are delish, loved looking at them.
I love the basket pattern, especially in your wonderful Paintbox fabrics! I’m amazed at how beautiful the results are when you blend batiks and prints. Your quilts are so beautiful. Thanks for the giveaway.
The colors in your quilts are very pretty. Vintage, but not quite. Bright tones, but not too bright. They are lovely to look at.
I made a baby/friendship quilt once. A couple in our Sunday School class was moving and I made them a quilt from the class and the couples signed the quilt. I then hand quilted it (at hubby’s insistance) and hubby quilted a bit on it. It was hard and even though he spent a couple hours on it, not much quilting was done (no, I did not take it out!) I think he thought it would be easier than it actually was!
He’s been talking about me starting to do some hand quilting lately–I think he has forgotten about the previous difficulties that were encountered!
I really like the basket blocks. So pretty with the paintbox fabrics. I hope here in Canada we get those fabrics.
Edyta, Your baskets quilts inspire me to start one and the Paintbox Fabrics are wonderful and beyond. Would love to find the patterns for the basket quilts. Another book? I have been collecting all your previous books, love to browse and gaze! Thank you for the inspiration!
Great fabric line! I particularly love the golden orange fabric that appears in some of the photos. This blog hop is inspiring me to make a friendship quilt, and I think Paint Box will be perfect for it.
Love the baskets! Your new paintbox fabrics look lovely.
I love your quilts, Edyta! Who does your quilting, it is beautiful!?
Thank you for sharing your talent and the pictures of your beautiful friendship quilts.
Love the basket
Thank you so much for the instructions and pictures on making the tiny basekets and the handle! Beautiful rich colors that will show so well in a quilt!
I love your quilts. Thank you for the block and the little basket.
I like your basket handle method – thanks for sharing. I don’t have any special plan for the friendship blocks, but I’m really loving the blocks!
I haven’t made a friendship quilt yet, but seeing your beautiful variations makes me want to make one. I love the block that has the small basket as the center. Thanks for the opportunity to win your new fabric.
Your work is amazing. The blocks I make into a quilt is going to be for ME. As soon as I find the RIGHT fabric.
I have a love affair with basket quilts also. Irresistible!
What a beautiful post! I have never made a friendship quilt but seeing what you have posted I think I should organized one amongst my quilty friends. I look forward to your posts, and I’m looking forward to taking your class in Paducah this spring!
I love the way you mix batiks with florals. As soon as I finish my latest project I am going to start a friendship quilt.
Edyta, I love all your quilts. I’m going to share your blog with my quilt group, who knows, we may be doing friendship blocks soon!
You never seise to amaze me! Your projects are just STUNNING !!! Keep up the fabulous work !
Thank you for the block and the basket handle instructions. I am making a quilt that has lots of blocks of small baskets with handles. I think using a template to shape them rather than following a drawn line will be easier. Thanks!
Love your fabric and all your designs! Pick me!
What gorgeous quilts! I love the basket block.
Thank you for the pattern, and for sharing the photos of the gorgeous antique quilt! Your fabric is lovely.
Your work is just beautiful. Loved the tip for applying bias strips.
Your quilt designs are exquisite. I also did a basket block exchange with a lady that lives in St. Priest France. I have never met her, she is a friend of a friend that lives there as well. We never made enough blocks to complete anything. Looking at your baskets has inspired me to make more to send to her. I’m hoping you chose my name so I can use your fabrics to make more exchange blocks.
I plan to send my blocks on to a charity group – they will get 2-3 quilts out of them to send on to someone in need of a quilty hug.
I have been thinking that I would like to make these blocks and have my friends from my weekly sit n sew sign them. That way I will always have something to remember them by when I move. I like the wy you used a basket for the center of your block. Thanks for the giveaway.
Hi, I must say all of the quilting you show on your blog is absolutely gorgeous, you are so talented. I would love to try to make a basket using your directions here on your blog. I would use the fabric to make a beautiful table runner and I think it would look really nice to put a quilted basket in the center of the runner. Thanks for sharing all of your wonderful work.
I always just love anything you come up with – fabric, patterns, blocks! They are all beautiful!
I love your friendship block. Thanks for sharing in this Moda block hop. It’s so much fun to collect all the blocks and read your blogs.
Does that quilt really say 1846 ??? Amazing ! Paint Box is beautiful ! I can’t imagine what it is like to design those lovely batiks. Thanks for the block pattern and te giveaway !

Your quilts are amazing!!! I love your colors, and all the wonderful blocks that you use. I was lucky enough to win the Aurafil thread collection that has your Laundry Basket color choices. I think I need to make your block with that thread: they will go together perfectly!!
I am so happy to found your blog… thank you for the tutorial on how to make the tiny basket especially the handle, I never had the idea of how people did it..:)and thanks for the chance to win your beautiful bundle!
I’m actually not sure exactly how I plan to put these together. I was trying to decide if I should put a solid block between each one or just sashing. Thanks for a fun block and a lovely giveaway.
Love your use of color. That’s what seems to draw me in. Love the basket. Thought I’d try a sample block. I’m a bit confused. The first direction mentions 2 light 1 1/2 ” squares. For the life of me I don’t see any squares in the pattern. Rectangles ,perhaps ??
I love your designs and this fabric line is simply gorgeous.
Love your quilts, love your fabric, love your designs. Would love to win. Thanks, from northern Iowa.
Thanks for sharing- The quilt is beautiful. Both applique and piecing. The colors in the fabric are amazing!!!!! Once again- you’ve designed something so beautiful.
Thanks so much for sharing your blocks , I am so happy to be collecting these fun blocks and look forward to making the quilt .
I love your little basket. I am not able to put these blocks together right now due to a physical problem but when I can enter my sewing room again, I think I will make a throw for my keeping room. I love all the blocks and would love to purchase one of the fabric lines to do them all in.
Hi Edyta! I love your little basket signature block & can’t wait to make it! I can’t wait to see you & Michael at TN TVQA Assembly Day in July!!! Thank you for the opportunity to win your gorgeous new Paintbox pre-cuts! Congratulations on your ongoing success. I know Michael’s Grandma is SOOOOOO proud of you! Hugs & Blessings, Debra & Gracie

Paintbox Collection–love it! You are such an inspiration in how you mix fabrics in your very unique style.
I love your new fabric, it is so beautiful. Your basket quilts are stunning, I never wanted to make a basket before but I do now.
I hope to do all the blocks some of them look challanging
What gorgeous quilts and beautiful fabric collection. I’m in awe!
This post has soooo much beauty and inspiration in it…I’ll be coming back later to take more time to enjoy it! The little baskets are my favorite. I made a whole bunch of them a few years ago and was just thinking about how to use them. Your photos are so inspiring!
Beautiful!!!!
Thanks for showing us how to make the tiny basket for the middle of the block. I am new to quilting, so I appreciate the clear instructions. Can’t wait to make this block!
I love the little three inch basket block for the center! I will be using the cardstock trick to shape my handles!! Thanks so much!
I love your work. You are such a talented person. Thanks for sharing your creativity with all of us.

Love your block and can’t wait to give it a try. Enjoy your blog. Thanks for the
chance to win.
Love the fabric, love the square, love your comments about your friendship quilts, what a great idea. Thanks.
I love this block but do wonder if you are applique by hand or machine? Just lovely quilts and the new line is very nice! PattiO
Good morning! I am enjoying this post with a cup of coffee…what a great way to start my day! I have enjoyed all of your books and patterns since Hop to It! and now there is fabric too! I am glad you shared your method for basket handles, I just made the block from Anne Sutton and that was the one part I had a little trouble with. My lesson learned was to not cut the handle length until you get it down, but it did turn out and I will try it again because I am loving basket quilts too!
This Blog Hop is so much fun! I love basket quilts and when they are scrappy they are the best! The fabric is so yummy. Thanks for all the great tips.
Edyta-I absolutely love looking at your blog posts. You do such amazing works of art for your quilts and I hope someday to be brave enough to give one a whril! Love the new fabrics..
Hello!
I just bought your book from Amazon and love all of your fabrics and patterns! Very nice giveaway. You are an amazing designer! Thanks for the opportunity….wish I could think of something to say that would make my comment jump out at you so I would win. Oh well, I really do enjoy your work.
Cheery wave!
Bev

Oh, I would love to win some of your gorgeous fabrics! I plan on making each and every block from this! And I am trying to use whomever’s fabric with their block so it will be a very scrappy quilt, I love scrappy quilts, they are my absolute favorite, I love color! Thanks for this great giveaway!
A warm greetings from germany. Baskets are also my favorite motif. Thanks for the great inspiration!
Thank you so much for all the beautiful eye candy, the tutorial, the block pattern, and the chance on your great giveaway.
I am just in love with your fabrics and you do such an amazing job on your quilts! If I could do a fraction as well I would be thrilled
What beautiful quilts ~ wonderful ~ I am planning my friendship quilt for my daughter and her family ~ I am taking pictures of them and “their friends” on there camping trips (which I am now attending with them, after the loss of my “best friend and wonderful husband”) and instead of signatures I plan to put in pictures. This friendship quilt could not have come at a better time for me. Thanks to all of you ~

Love your friendship block and your new line of fabrics.
Thank you for sharing your friendship quilts, the baskets are my favorites. Luck to all.
Hi! Thank you so much for the beautiful quilt block. This is my first quilt along and I’m thrilled. Your quilts are amazing. Such talent!
What a lovely bunch of friendship blocks. I haven’t had time to work on any of these yet as I’m still working on quilts for my kids and grandkids, but some time…… Thanks for the opportunity.
Hi, beautiful fabrics and pictures. Thanks for the block and the chances to win.
I love you little basket in the centre of your block; a fun idea. And thank you for sharing all the pictures of various quilts and blocks. Thank you for the chance to win, too!
Following the qa such great blocks. Thanks for the block and a chance to win
I have always struggled with basket handles. Now thanks to your tutorial I know how to perfect them. Thanks you for that and the chance to win.
I love the handle hint for your baskets. I have many sleepless nights thinking of ways to use your newest line of fabric. All of my Sisters and lots of friends love it also. Wishing all who read this a great day.
Thank you for the block and the chance to win!
I love anything you design and make. Great block and great giveaway. Thanks.
Simply love your work. It is a labor of love.
I haven’t chosen a line for my blocks yet but I am going shopping tomorrow! Maybe I will be lucky and win some fabric to use
Your quilts are just gorgeous!! I am in Awe of your quilts. What an inspiration you are!! Thank you for your block and your help on the basket.
Love all your ideas, as usual! The star made by the hearts is really appealing to me. Might have to get that pattern!
Blog Hop, what fun!! So nice that you showed your way of handeling the small baskets. I’m working on 5″ baskets now and was at a standstill becasue I decided I needed more. I’ll try on handle technique with the next batch.
I really love the colors of your Paint Box collection. I am sew inspired by your technique for the basket handle (definitely gonna try it) and your beautiful quilts. Thank you!
Wonderful!! Love your work— Thank you for sharing your visions and talent
Lois
I love your block! I want to make some of these into cushions for my friends! thank you!
Love all your baskets. I love the different ones and the creativity of the patterns. The material is just gorgeous with so many possibilities. I love your blog and check it quite often for update!! Keep them coming.
I want to start some of these blocks so bad! But I promised myself I would finish up some of my ongoing projects first! I don’t know how long I can hold on to this promise
Basket patterns have always somehow intimidated me….lol! This pattern seems like something I could finish, especially using the tip for the handles. Your idea of using these friendship blocks for a family tree quilt is perfect, as I have been wanting to make one for some time. Just couldn’t come up with a pattern hat seemed appropriate. Thanks so much!
Hi Edyta! I love everything you do! I just finished a half square triangle exchange and I am waiting for my triangles! I would love to include some of your new fabric line in the quilt I make with them!
I have not started the blocks yet, but hope to over Easter. I have a family get together in July in Newfoundland. If I get all the blocks done in time, I plan on bringing the quilt home for family members to sign.
I love your designs and studio!
I’m new to Quilting and would be over-the-moon if I were to win your drawing. Thanks very much!
Love your site…..love your quilts…..I am currently finishing the Rainbow Star Quilt and working on the Spring Bouquet. Love this block….think I will use it on the back of these for my signature block. I can’t wait to see your new line of fabrics and the quilts you have in store for us this year. I stopped quilting about 15 years ago and you have inspired me to start again…..I love, love, love quilting once again.
I am having so much fun for this Quilt Along…..I will be using all my left overs for the blocks.
I am also waiting for 1500 half square triangles to come in from an exchange that my local quilt shop offered. I think over 20 stores from all over the world are participating.
Thanks
Your work is excellent! I have your first basket pattern. Thank you for my chance to win! As always you are so generous!
Hi Edyta! I love your quilts, the colors are amazing! Thanks for the basket handle tutorial as it makes applique so much easier. I would love to win the paint box collection! I am enjoying everyone’s block patterns – very cute.
I love the basket to go with the block you created, and I love all of your patterns and beautiful fabrics! Keep creating all of this beautiful inspiration for your fellow quilters! Thank You.
I enjoy looking at your blog so much. Your quilts are so inspiring and they totally bring your fabrics to life. SO much inspiration!
Oh such eye candy! What beautiful quilts and photos you’ve posted. Your tip for the basket handle is very helpful. Thank you!
love your quilts 9and your fabric designs!) thanks for opportunity
Wow, your new fabric is wonderful! I love all of your baskets. They really inspire me. Thanks so much for all that you do.
Absolutely love those paint box colors!
I’m a huge fan of your designs! I’ve got several of your books and patterns and several kits that I still need to get busy and make. Thanks for the chance to win!
It is amazing to see how you use color in your quilts. They are all just simply beautiful. I’ve never thought I would like applique but seeing the beauty in your quilts makes me want to try it. Thanks for your willingness to share your talent and love of quilting!
Hi from New Jersey (USA)! I ‘m anxious to see your Paint Box fabric collection. I have all of your books and have learned to”relax” my fabric choices by mixing batiks in with my more “traditional “fabrics.
As soon as I can find your pattern for Paint Baskets
I ‘ll be mixing more fabrics for the quilt. Also love your “Shaker Baskets” and will be looking for that pattern too!
OMG! I am in love with all of your quilts. Thank you for sharing. Love your new line.
Love all your quilts! What pattern or book are the little baskets and star baskets from? Love them all
Edyta, it’s a great block. I have made several of your projects and own three of your books. I love all of them. I receive many compliments on the quilts I made (Tree Farm was special!). Please keep on sharing your wonderful ideas!
I’m really loving the Moda Blog Hop and looking at all the beautiful fabrics. Thanks for a chance to win some!!
You have an amazing way of designing colorful fabrics for us to enjoy.
Thank you for sharing your “little” basket. Adorable!
Thank you for the giveaway.
Hi. Your quilts are beautiful. Wishing I was working less and able to make more beautiful quilts. Thanks!
I just love friendship blocks. I do not have a friendship quilt. Thanks for the wonderful group of quilts you shared with us. I would really love to win.
Thanks so much for the tips on making the curved handle for the basket pattern. This pattern has been high on a “let’s make one” list.
I have been inspired by basket blocks lately and loved looking at yours. The old ones are so much fun and I love seeing them made from batiks. Thanks for all the wonderful ideas.
I have yet to see one of your quilts that I don’t adore. The umbrellas are my absolute favorite. Some day I will get a chance to make that pattern.
Thanks for the block and all the lovely quilt pics in this post!
I love friendship blocks with signatures and basket blocks! What a great idea to combine the two!
I love the look of your quilts–gorgeous! I can’t say I have a plan for my friendship blocks yet…I am still dreaming about them and trying to decide which fabric I want to use!! This is becoming tougher all the time; each time I open another blog, I see another WONDERFUL colorway and I just can’t seem to choose a favorite! Sounds terrible, huh?
I am having a great time looking at all the blocks and extra projects (thank you for adding the basket!!) and awaiting the weekend so I can just decide already and start cutting!!
OMGosh Edyta over 500 messages how lucky you are to have so many wonderful blog buddies. I love your little basket block and I have to tell you I am in a quilt class this year after 120 or more years of quilting just to make basket blocks. I have always wanted one and it seemed like I just let other things get in my way and finally decided this year I am going to do it…. Your quilts are just wonderful and your colors well who wouldn’t want to win a bundle from you…I admire your work, your colors and your design…keep on teaching us quilters we need you..
Sorry Edyta that was suppose to say 12 years of quilting…please remember I just posted and only count me once for a chance to win…I may feel that old sometimes but I am not…
I like your basket block. I am making a little quilt with 12 little baskets in it. My first.
Great block – thank you!! I think I may have to copy your old autograph quilt to use for signatures at my daughter’s wedding! Thanks for the great giveaway!
Oh my gosh! I am totally obsessed with your fabric, quilts and patterns!!! You truly have a special talent! Thanks also for the bonus basket pattern for the center of our block! Keep up the good work!
Thanks for sharing your friendship block with us. Also for showing all the beautiful quilts. I am so inspired by your work.
I love your fabrics, books & patterns. Thanks for the beautiful block!
I host a siggy blog swap group on FB and I’m loving seeing all the different historical quilts made with signature blocks…..wonder if in the future the siggy swappers (in my group) quilts will appear on blogs as historical posts too?
Hugs
Naomi
The basket is adorable! Thanks for a chance to win!
What exquisite quilts! They’re perfection in my book. Thank you for the opportunity to win something.
Love all your quilts have made a few and collect all your patterns. I met your husband and daughter 2 yrs ago at the Cincinnati quilt show. Keep quilting and publishing your patterns.
The pictures are beautiful and the quilts are inspiring. I would love to win some of the gorgeous fabric and start my own quilt in the Laundry Basket style.
Every fabric you design is is gorgeous, every pattern is inspiring, your quilts and passion for quilts are beautiful and true. Your photos and tips are the most helpful. You make me want to go for doing my very best, to go beyond. I thank you for that.
I love the Paintbox fabrics, they are appropriately names. The baskets are so pretty. I love the old signatures and the calligraphy and illustrations on each. Your style so beautiful, thanks for all you do.
Your quilts are so beautiful. Thanks for a wonderful post!

Ooh, I love the little basket in the center of the signature block. I can’t wait to go down into my sewing room and make one today!
Love your little signature block. Great idea. Wonderful to have such old/antique quilts.
Love your basket block! Your quilts are all just gorgeous! The Paintbox fabrics look yummy!
Your quilts are beautiful! Very inspiring!
I’m working on a laundry basket quilt now with repro 30s fabrics. Can’t wait to start sewing blocks together . . . all the while dreaming of my next project!! Thanks for all the inspiration.

I love all of your quilts your work is beautiful. I would love a change to win the lovely fabric collection. Thank you for the giveaway.
Love your fabrics (just wish there were some shops around here who would carry them). I like your books too, these are easier to get
I haven’t made a friendship quilt yet but i made some blocks and let everyone of the family sign them and made a family-quilt thus.
Love the Paint Box colorways. They’re reminiscent of older Thimbleberries fabrics;
My earliest quits were made in that soft style, making new quilts look old.
Wow! Your quilts are all so beautiful. I LOVE all your different baskets!
Beautiful fabrics and blocks/quilts. Thanks for sharing how you make the handles on the basket blocks. And thanks for a chance to win some of the Paint Box fabrics!
I love your fabrics and quilt designs and would love to win a paint box collection to help with my friendship blocks. The quilt you made with your friends from Pennsylvania is beautiful (as are all of your quilts).
I love basket blocks and yours is just too cute! When my oldest daughter graduated from high school I made her a signature quilt signed by everyone who came to her party.
Thanks for all the wonderful ideas for a friendship quilt. It is on my list of things to do. Thank you for a chance to win some of your wonderful fabric.
Your little basket adds the perfect touch to your friendship block. Thanks.
I also love baskets of every kind. Your basket block is wonderful! Thank you so much for the great instructions. I plan to put basket centers in several of my friendship blocks now. Keep designing beautiful quilts and fabric for us!
I live in Illinois but make a trip to Paducah every time one on your lines hits their floor. Can’t wait until the next one.
Thanks for the amazing directions. Love your designs and fabrics!!!
I love the sentiment behind friendship quilts. As we will we relocating soon (and I am the only quilter in the group) I am going to make myself one! Before I leave I will have all my dearest friends sign a 3″ square to use in the future (hopefully with the fabric I win). Thanks for sharing the directions. I looked at something that I needed to make earlier this month but had no idea how to use the bias tape so your instructions are timely!
Okay Edyta! How do you accomplish finishing so many wonderful quilts in what seems to be a very short time. Must be something wrong with me… I feel like quilting is all I do and few real accomplishments. Please share your secret to success, I know you have to eat and sleep, don’t you?
Great solution for the baskets!!! I just made mine a lot complexer…
The quilts you are showing are very inspiaring. I’m in a knitting flow… but… seeing all these… I will look for mine unfinished quilts and at least finished one before summer.
Nice greetings,
Willeke
I really love basket quilt patterns too and can’t wait to make your block!
Delighted to see a lovely lady with amazing quilts and fabrics!
Friendship– great topic for you. I am fortunate to have been in HST exchange with you thru TQS.
Hello from Australia!! I cannot wait for your next line to come out and especially the hexagons
I cannot tell you how much I love looking at your quilts. I adorer the mix of batik with prints, so clever. I want to make all your triangle pattern quilts….might take a while or…..I might get a little obsessed and not clean the house or cook for sewing!!!!
BTW your photography on your blog is enchanting
thank you
keep quilting like the star you are
I always enjoy your beautiful blog posts! Your “Ice Cream Sandwich” pattern is my signature block of choice right know. The plan is to put the place and date of all the volksmarches we have walked on them to make a memory quilt.
Thanks for all your contributions to quilting!
I love all the baskets. Now I know how to get my handles the right shape. Thanks.
I’m new to appliqué, and appreciate the instruction on the bias handle. I would like to have friends sign their names on a few scraps and then make each friend a quilt of their own. Ambitious, but why not?
Cute little baskets. I am thinking of using some of the blocks to make potholders. Thanks for the chance to win.
I love the pictures of the different basket block examples – I’ve never tried one. Thanks for the give away!
I am 51 years old and I am just learning how to make quilts. Your instructions are so easy to follow and I look forward to making some beautiful quilts using your designs! Thank you from Nebraska!!
Love your baskets! Thank you for the little basket tutorial to add to the block.
I absolutely LOVE your friendship block! Thank you for all of your inspiring designs.
I DO hope to make a signature quilt. I think it would make a much loved quilt for someone. The baskets are darling and the bias tool … cool!
