Basket Weave - Completed December 2005
I started my very first quilt using a basket weave design. It was supposedly simple to put together. The majority of the seems didn't line up and I used a dark colored backing with light colored thread. Ooops...every crooked stitch shows.

I did however learn that LOTS of quilting hides the flaws if you don't dig too deep. This baby definitely won't fall apart!

As you can see, Sunny was an integral part of this process. I lost him to kidney disease in November 2009 and still miss him. He'll be popping in on quite a few of my quilts.
