Creating the "Purple Passion" basket 10-27-11

One job I completed during the last few stress filled weeks was finishing and delivering the "Purple Passion" basket.   Strangely, I didn't take any pictures!  Nancy Ota took this image after I delivered the basket - she also weighed and measured it.
 
The basket measures 15 x 23 x 9.5 deep and weighs 25 pounds.  There are about 78 yards of fabric - fat quarters, half yards, yards, more than a yard and a bundle of scraps (anything that doesn't measure the "cuts" mentioned or has a chunk cut out).  I tucked in some silk scraps from Talbott Ties outlet and someone donated a package of 100 pre-cut 5" squares.  I expect to see at least one purple quilt at Show & Tell this coming year!

 


Click "Purple Passion" on the sidebar to see a few of the items included in the basket.

Thanks to everyone who donated to this basket - you forced me to buy a larger basket!
See the Surfside Quilters Guild website for pictures and information about the November Fest (Tuesday, November 8th), the baskets and the fabulous live auction quilts http://www.surfsidequiltersguild.org/
