Common Bride QA - Week 5

Welcome to our Common Bride Quilt Along!

This week we will be building beautiful basket blocks!

You can never have enough baskets!

Common Bride - Original Quilt Design by Edyta Sitar

I am quilting using the Common Bride Fabric Kit and adding some scraps from my stash.

You can use this same kit or this is a perfect time to select some beauties from you own stash and enjoy all your fabrics to make this design your own!

Who's ready to start?

Refer to your Common Bride pattern for cutting measurements.

Basket Blocks
