It's the end of May
and the flowers have been
definitely putting on a show

here in northern Colorado.
Those blossoms were my inspiration
for my May monthly mini
May Baskets and Blossoms.
May Baskets and Blossoms.
25"x 25"
It started with a fat quarter bundle I purchased
from Fat Quarter Shop
called Chalk and Timber
and grew from there.

Four traditional basket blocks,
a pieced border made with pink flying geese,
and just enough border fabric to
tie it all together.

A simple quilted grid pattern,

and this month's mini was complete.
The backing was fun to
stitch together using
a toile print and
some ancient Debbie Mumm fabric.

It all seemed to fit.
Who would have guessed.
Baskets and blossoms
seemed like a fitting
ending to May.
Thanks to Wendy,
the Constant Quilter
for encouraging many of us
to have fun each month.

Kyle, It's beautiful! I love the colors and the border fabric...and I believe I have a little of that Debbie Mumm fabric in my stash still. Is she even designing fabric anymore? I used to love all of her designs!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet quilt. I love the backing fabric. I've never seen it before. Hugs
ReplyDeleteThat is just a darling quilt, just right for springtime!!
ReplyDeleteLove it!! So cute!
ReplyDeleteThe backing fabric is a treasure. Looks like a bride and groom to me. I purchased a bit of the chalk and timber fabric on sale within the last couple weeks.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet mini, so perfect for spring! I love the toile fabric on the back, a perfect springtime pairing!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning! A perfect mini for May! I still haven't been able to get the linkup thing working, but I will link you in my next post. I LOVE this little quilt!
ReplyDeleteA perfect little spring quilt! Very cute. And the blossom trees are amazing!
ReplyDeleteWow! This mini is a beauty. The pink flying geese looked like prairie points at first glance. I love the backing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet way to commemorate the Royal Wedding! It is beautiful, front and back. ---"Love"
ReplyDeleteLove this basket pattern in brown in pink combination, but the triangle border is just perfect to set it all off. Great mini, great job!
ReplyDeleteOoh, what a wonderful little quilt for May! The pinks and browns are perfect together and I love the border fabric! The backing is a sweet reminder of the Royal Wedding :) Haven't heard of Debbie Mumm fabrics in a long time but your little bit worked perfectly!
ReplyDeleteOh this is so so pretty! From the baskets to the flowered border to the toile detail on the back. I bet you will always remember stitching it while watching the royal wedding.
ReplyDeleteYour May baskets are so sweet - pinks and browns - always a great choice. That Debbie Mumm fabric resides in my stash too. Good for you on meeting Wendy’s May challenge (I must sit in the corner of non-accomplishments) Gorgeous blossoms on your tree - and hoping you got the rain you were hoping for!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations for your mini quilt of May ! I love all the fabrics you used ! Especially the brown one in the outer border with the pink flowers ! Very cute ;)
ReplyDeletewhat a sweet mini. Perfect for May. Pink and Brown is one of my favorite combinations.
ReplyDeleteI had that fabric on the back - the center piece. I wonder if I still have some.
such pretty blossoms
This is so pretty and I just love that first photo in the post!! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty little quilt - perfect for spring :0) I love the detail of the pink flying geese and your fussy cut cornerstones.. (I still have a little bit of Debbie Mumm in my stash too). very fun backing!
ReplyDeleteO.my.gosh... this quilt is absolutely Darling! A perfect quilt and colors for May!
ReplyDeleteThe entire back is perfect too.... and how fitting for remembrance of the Royal wedding.
Lovely quilt and gorgeous inspiration. Doesn't our Lord paint a beautiful picture? I love all the spring blossoms. We don't get much of that here in the desert:)
ReplyDeleteI have a weakness for basket quilts! It does look just like the flowers!
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely finish. The blooms do look lovely and your baskets fit in perfectly.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness - those blossoms are incredible! It's almost like living in a snow globe...And your newest mini is the perfect complement for them. I love baskets.
