Design Wall Monday: BasketWeave Blocks for PCQ

 The blocks for my third PCQ charity quilt pattern are finished and up on my design wall. 

This is the prototype and teaching sample for one of the Charity Quilts we'll be making later in the spring. This one uses 2-1/2" strips which we can die cut. This one's made from my own stash so I was able to choose harmonious colors in mostly modern prints, in blue, turquoise, and cool green. 

I'm hoping to get the top assembled this week, then I'll move on to the fourth and final Charity quilt pattern for PCQ.

When we cut from the club's stash I think we'll have a lot of darker and duller prints to choose from, along with beige prints for sashing instead of white. I'm hoping there's enough variety in their stash that we can kit up combos of analogous colors. This pattern works best in analogous colors or related palettes like Patriotic or Christmas. Here's an EQ rendering of the Patriotic palette highlighting the weave effect.


We'll post all four patterns on our website as PDFs for easy access for our members; here are the first three. If you would like any of these PDFs for your own or your group's charitable endeavors, leave a comment specifying which one(s) and put your email address in the text of the comment
