I didn't notice the base of the baskets until I read the other comments. Here are my thoughts: Could you trapunto the flowers and holly by stuffing them from the back so they would stand out? Another idea would be to use metallic thread for the quilting on the baskets and then maybe a white thread with some shimmer qualities for the white background so it would look snow-like.LJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01612629420194084787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116061752441257596.post-54490296071681835092011-12-08T10:30:39.741-08:002011-12-08T10:30:39.741-08:00Congratulations to Sandy!~ Nice name. ;-) LOL I t...Congratulations to Sandy!~ Nice name. ;-) LOL I think the quilting is what will finish your basket quilt off~ its very cute.

They don't bother me and it was fun to see another like it.

Can you applique two triangles on the bottoms so they look like they are sitting up?<br />I think this is why it looks unfinished? You could just pin some triangles on and step back for a distant look to see if this helps. Good luck!Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01022848163403014158noreply@blogger.com
