I really did enjoy making this quilt. Using all the different fabrics really keeps my interest in a project. The pattern has the baskets made a tricky way and of course I ended up modifying the method to suit me. Don't we all do that with patterns?
My favorite part was picking out the fabrics. And I certainly did not end up with what I started picking out for this quilt. The journey is to be enjoyed though and by the time I started sewing I knew I had captured the feel for making the baskets look like a 'nanette quilt'.
It is nice to have a finish. I have so many things started that I wonder how I'll ever manage to get them all done. I have some other project finishes that were mailed off yesterday to California. I'm hoping you girls going to Quilt Market next month will take lots of pictures of my projects at the RJR booth and send them to me. It will be my first time having a quilt (and other goodies) at Market!
Now I've got to catch up on the Jelly Roll Quilt-A-Long. I'm 2 blocks behind and I'm just putting the finishing touches on the instructions for my block that will be featured in May so off I go now to work on it.

A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E! And, it's definitely a Nanette quilt. I can't wait to see what you've done for RJR. :-)
Oh it does say "nanette" I love the black stripe and the black dots as a frame! Of course you know I love all your fabrics! It is beautiful. I am one block behind for the quilt along and I am looking forward to seeing and doing your block. Have a nice day!
I absolutely adore this quilt! LOVE it! Where can I find this pattern???
Definitely a Nanette quilt. Beautiful, cheerful and so fun to enjoy. I love it!
I love all the basket colors--so happy to look at.
I love this quilt and all the happy fabrics you used Nanette! What a great border that stripe makes, too. Congratulations on showing for RJR. You totally deserve to be right up there with the rest of them :-)
Nanette, this is a great quilt! It must make you happy every time you walk in and see it.
It is absolutely darling! I love it.
Congrats on the finish. I love everything about it - the polka dot binding and the stripe upper border. I like the effect of the striped handles. Wonderful colours! So glad you have a nice spot to enjoy it.
Your quilt is so cute and I'm so proud of you for finishing it right away! I joined Konda's jelly roll blog. I have three done. They are so easy, I made all three last night. How was Bryce?
Just terrific! How smart to put such a bright happy quilt that you worked so hard on in your entryway. I thought I was the only one who modified (messes around) with patterns to suit me.
I hope there will be lots of pictures posted from the rjr booth?
It turned out WONDERFUL, Nanette!
I'll swoop by and get some photos! Email me, and tell me what I'm looking for, they don't label their quilts by maker!
xo
I can't believe you've finished it already!! It turned out great! I may yet have to buy that black and white stripe fabric I saw at the local variety store......just in case I want to make basket handles. :-) I'll be sure to take pics of the RJR booth when I go to Spring Market. :-) Oh, and I'll get permission first,just in case...
it's lovely. what a sweet collection of pretty baskets. great background fabric too.
This quilt is AMAZING, WONDERFUL, THE BEST...and on and on and on!! The fabrics you picked are just perfect!!!! Can you tell I love this quilt. Think this will have to go on my to do list!! Hopefully I can find the pattern.
I LOVE this! and you get to see it every time you come home. :)
Beautiful quilt, lots of detail. Your fabric choices made it "you".
I like your method for hanging the quilt, easier than putting a pocket in the back and you get a flatter look at the top.
Fabulous quilt Nanette! I love that it does look like a "Nanette" quilt. You just seem to have a way of personalizing things with your own special little touches... that's what I love about you!
Fun seeing you last night:)
SQUEAL!!!! Nanette! I LOVE your quilt! It certainly does look like a Nanette quilt because the fabrics are so much fun! The black dot is perfect as the inner border. I like that each of your baskets stands on its own -- mine get a little blendy in spots -- but each of yours is distinct. VERY, VERY, VERY wonderful! Perfect in an entryway. Bravo!
Love, love, love this quilt. The small amounts of black and white fabric used just makes it pop. I think we were poured from the same mold Nanette. Everything you wrote fits this household at this time.
What a beautiful quilt. I bet it was fun to make and pick out all those lovely fabrics. How wonderful it must look in your entry way.
The Going To Market looks perfect in your home. I am so glad you have a finish. My pattern and supplies still sit neatly in a box, not even cut out. Someday...
How nice to be able to walk past this lovely quilt every day!
So cute! You always pick out the most fun fabrics. Always fun to just look at all the fabrics.
Nanette it is just beautiful.
wow, I love it!!!
It is BEAUTIFUL! I love that you have such a nice variety of colors- it really works so nicely.
This quilt is so amazing! I love it. It is a very "Nanette quilt." :)
I love it! It's so beautiful and very whimsical!
What a fun, happy quilt!
Wow, Nanette and it's so you! I love it!
Wow! What a beauty this one is!!
Nanette..

Oh, Nanette, what a wonderful job you have done on that quilt! Yes! It does look like a Nanette quilt. Absolutely. I think it's just the happy mix of fabrics that are your signature. Love it!
That is definitely "ONE AWESOME QUILT!!!" I must find the time to make that quilt, I love it so much. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Hi Nanette. I really love, I mean love this quilt. You did an awesome job. It had to be so much fun to put together! Great job!
Wonderful quilt...you are amazing!
I have just accidentally stumbled on your blog as a picture of this quilt came up as a thimbnail on someone else's bloglist - this quilt is to die for, as is the kettles one I can see to the right hand side - ooh and the leafy treetops quilt. I am going to follow - I just love your modern applique.
Nanette, Just fantastic! I love the finished quilt. How cool is that that you will be having quilts at market for RJR? Can't wait to see what they will be!
This is absolutely precious! I'm swooning over your pretty baskets. The colors in the border fabric tie in so well with the colors of the baskets... LOVE it!
Oh, btw, so awesome that your adorable quilts will be adorning the RJR booth... I can't wait to see the pictures :)
What a treat to see this when you walk in your front door! I love how all the baskets have the same handle fabric.
I can't find the words to say how much I love this quilt, it's gorgeous and of course your special touch has made it.
I love this quilt! All the wonderful fabrics in the baskets, your great border on top, and the poka dot binding make it a perfect Nanette quilt. :)
Oh Nanette, I love it!!!! Absolutely gorgeous and I adore that "Golden Sugar" fabric! Great job my dear ... it looks beautiful hanging in your entry way :)
This is astoundingly beautiful!!!
Your quilt is incredible. It is perfectly suited to you.
Your quilt is so adorable and especially that fabric, Golden Sugar, really cute! I barely have my handles preped and I'm already wanting to do a second one of these!
The quilt is just wonderful!
You did a great job!

This came out SOOOO Cute!! love the scrappiness, and then the unity created by the handles. Nice job!!
Let me add my voice to the chorus of praise - that is simply gorgeous.
Yes it looks very much like you! I love the colors and especially the basket handles. You always inspire me.
I am in love with it Nanette...WOW!!! Such awesome fabric choices, so, so, so CUTE!!!!
Love your basket quilt. I bet it is so pretty in your entryway...pretty fabrics too.
Your basket quilt is just beautiful Nanette!! And you sure did make it your own. I'll try to get a photo of your quilt at market if I every come down from the ceiling of excitement!
Yes, I do love this pattern, and yours is darling! I have been debating whether to get it or not. Sew many projects, sew little time......
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nanette,
I just love it! I love how the black/white handles tie everything together as well as give it a pop of color. Great color selections. Funny how we have an idea that turns out better than we thought!
BTW-Little Miss Allison is so cute! I could pinch those cheeks all day and her pink/red polka dots are to die for.
Oh, Nanette! It is wonderful! I love all the fabrics you used and the black and white handles on all of the baskets are perfect.
Nannette - too gorgeous for words.
beautiful quilt
The quilt is beautiful - I love your colors/fabrics and just how FUN it is! I think I'm going to have to make one - I just keep looking at it and it's calling my name! Way to go! xo, The Other Nanette
What's left for me to say?? Ditto...Ditto...Ditto to what everyone else has said. It is definitely gorgeous. You were right in using the b/w stripe for the handles!!
I applaude you....LOL...now it's my turn to stalk you!!
I couldn't wait any longer.....ordered the pattern today. Am thinking I will do red and white striped basket handles. Auh.....now I feel better. Hope mine turns out as beautiful!
