Baskets of Color

I'm still playing with my batik prints. Thought I'd try a ten inch pieced Basket or Cake Stand block:


I love the movement of the yellow through the pink and orange of the basket above. But there's nothing wrong with the pink below either!



Thought I'd try for a lighter background next:




Cutting patches for these blocks resulted in duplicates so I made another block...


I find these blocks just breathtaking, if I do say so myself! I'm also continuing to make six inch blocks for my personal Parts Department out of the leftover bits of batiks.


I want to make some flying geese units too, but I'd like to keep the backgrounds at least the same value if not the same color/print. Haven't yet figured out what that will be. I was thinking I would try out a medallion set with these blocks. That could change of course. The best thing about quilt making is all the choices or possibilities it offers. :- )
