If you’re a regular visitor to my blog, you know that I love the monthly Sew Sampler subscription box from Fat Quarter Shop. Every month the folks at Fat Quarter Shop curate a box filled with unique notions, pretty fabric, an exclusive pattern and coupons! These boxes are an incredible value and you may cancel at any time, giving you total flexibility. It’s so exciting to receive that special blue box each month!
For the past year, the Sew Sampler boxes have also included a bonus basket block recipe card designed by Lori Holt of Bee in My Bonnet. I’ve played along, sewing a basket block each month from my stash of Fig Tree scraps! I’m so excited to show you my finished Basket Quilt top. Isn’t she pretty?
This cheerful quilt finishes at 28 3/4” x 36”, but there are larger sized options on the recipe cards. Because I made the small 5 1/2” blocks, I literally was able to sew from scraps! During the year, I stored a messy stash of pretty Fig Tree fabrics in a plastic bin and had a ball rummaging through my scraps to find the perfect morsels for each block I made. I have a lot of scraps left, as you can see. Time for another scrap quilt, I guess!
In this month’s Sew Sampler box, we received the 12thbasket block recipe and the finishing instructions. I chose a sunny yellow for the setting squares (from Coney Island), an apple green for the inner border (from Ella & Ollie), and the strawberry floral for the outer border (from Strawberry Fields Revisited).
Sometimes quilt making can become a bit like work, especially when we have a tight deadline. But this project, completed over time using fabrics that make my heart happy, was a true joy. Just ask my husband . . . I was hopping around the house the night I discovered I had enough floral fabric to make that pretty outer border.
When I look at this quilt top, it’s like an eye-spy game of old Fig Tree favorites, including California Girl, Aloha Girl and Farmhouse. This scrap quilt reminds me of the other quilts I’ve made and treasured!
My Sew Sampler Basket Quilt top just needs to be quilted, and then I will find a sunny spot to hang it. I’m thinking it may need to go in the guest room near my Sweetly Scalloped quilt and my favorite Fig Tree pillows.
It’s time for me to come back down to earth and show you the goodies that arrived in the March Sew Sampler box, pictured below. Isn\’t that Sparkler pattern striking? I\’ve been longing to try a curvy Log Cabin ruler. It\’s always good to try new things!

Thanks Rosemary! I never get rid of scraps! Sometimes, when I feel like I'm overflowing, I give them to my church or friends or young sewists, but I never toss them! 🙂 SCRAPS GALORE!!

I started the year with bad credit, lingering debts and derogatory record which was affecting my ability to finance a new home.. I tried a few credit restoration firms but all were abortive until I saw a post about GearHeadPanacea. Com, I reached out to them and shockingly they helped cleaned up my derogatories and raised my score to 780 in a short period which has qualified me for a new home. Anyone else with bad scores can visit their website or reach out to them on Gearheadcyberpanacea AT gmail DOT com.
Hello everyone, Adrian Lamo Wizard Programmer are the only true and guaranteed cryptocurrency recovery professionals. I want to tell you about how I almost had my life ruined by a man who conned me out of $135,000 after I fell for a romantic hoax. I fell for this con, and it damaged my connection with my family. My life savings were stolen by a scammer I met on a dating website while he seemed to be in trouble, and I assisted him numerous times since I was continually sending money through Bitcoin. As a result, I had to declare bankruptcy. I borrowed money to help him, but I later learned that he was a con artist. After a buddy of mine showed me an article about Adrian Lamo Wizard Programmer Website and Emai: (adrianlamowizard22@gmail.com) services and how they can help you recover your stolen Bitcoin from these con artists, I was able to get through everything. I got in touch with them, and to my astonishment, they quickly retrieved the most of what I had lost. If you find yourself in such a predicament, get in touch with them right away. via WhatsApp: +31617016197.. All Thanks to Adrian Lamo Wizard Programmer
BITCOIN, BINARY OPTION: I am one of the Victims. At first, the software seemed to be really professional and authentic. I found many favorable reviews about its performance and delivered results. So, I decided to invest in it and try to achieve success in the online trading sphere. Soon, I realized that the software was swallowing all my investments. Brokers are nothing more than a dangerous and fraudulent platform. I invested over $ 140,000 and couldn’t withdraw my money, months passed and still nothing. So, God so kind I followed a broadcast that teaches on how scammed victims can recover their funds. I contacted the email provided for consultation, to help me recover my funds, I have been able to recover $ 100,000 and the remaining $40,000 is in progress. I really can’t tell how happy I am. I said I will not hold this to myself but share it to the public so that all scammed victims can get their funds back, you can as well hire him today by Email:(albertoprycewizard203@gmail.com) or whatsapp (+13465609044)
