Six Baskets and a Bird

I got my vertical row quilt completed in time for the drawing at our quilt group.  After that I put it away until today.  Unfolding it and seeing it again was a good experience.  I had been looking at it for about three months and needed a break from it's brilliance.  My husband calls it "Eye Sore." It is definitely fun!

The baskets in the four corners I did about four years ago, and I did a tutorial at one of our quilt meetings on how to make them.  The pink triangle basket, at the top, I made last year as part of quilt challenge, where I ended up redoing the block smaller, so this larger one ended up in here with several other orphan blocks.  The basket (at the top) with the blue handle, I made on purpose to fill that spot up on top of the row of eight-point stars.  I like the real mish-mash going on here, now that I have had a break from it.
