Country Baskets Wallhanging 2010, a block of the month quilt

When a guild member (and former guild president) brought her project in to share with us one meeting, I fell in love with it. Then I got a preview of my LQS' block of the month for 2010, and wasn't in love with that. So I decided to try and get the back issues of the magazine featuring this series (Quiltmaker, all of 2003 issues). I still have the Nov/Dec issue to find, but I also have several months before I get to it (fingers crossed). I plan to use my stash entirely for this wallhanging.

March block quilted and inserted into frame

I picked out 44 fabrics for the border / frame part of the wallhanging and cut a square from each, then 44 squares of the alternate fabric (beige print).
