Today–with only four days of May left–I finally made a start. These basket blocks are approximately 6 by 11 inches. I started with some more of the leftover bits of string fabric (that I just can't seem to toss) and some pink scraps. I have a plan and . . . a deadline.Last weekend, as I was making the light string blocks for Strings & Chocolates quilt, I noticed that quite a few of them had pink fabrics and then in a light bulb moment, I saw that I could use them as the basket in a liberated basket block.
I've become such a silent participant in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge that I had to post this meager beginning, if only to let my rainbow friends know that I'm still in the game;-)

Wow, only heard of the rainbow scrap challenge through your blog and have been to see what it's all about. It sounds like a great idea - I don't know much about quilting: I made my own quilt but have no idea if I did it right or not! This has got me thinking - I have loads of scrap material around and looking through your blog you've made some really great things with your scraps! I might take some inspiration from you... :-D Love your new pink baskets.
Tienes trabajos preciosos, Felicitaciones!!!
Your baskets look lovely Sophie :) At least you've made something, I think I've missed it again...
The baskets are great, and what a good idea! Any time is a good time to play with scraps. Hope the job hunt is fruitful very soon! Hugs, Finn
So glad you're still playing with your scraps! Love the baskets!
Love the baskets! Sweet, with the sass of scraps!
