The top is complete, at long last! This one has been a piecing challenge, making sure that none of the baskets became turned or flipped within each row. Whew! But, it was a lot of fun~
more fun than a barrel basket of monkeys! Yep, there is one... the quilt named itself! Can you find it? There are 113 (4.5 inch) "Postage Stamp" basket blocks made from 226 charm squares for a lively mix of colors, patterns and textures. The pattern is from
Alex Anderson.

Congrats on a great finish! Nice job with the placement of colors & lights/darks. It's beautiful.

What a stunning work of art! You've out done yourself here. Whew. The monkey basket is charming, too. Just like you.
All the time studying it on your design wall paid off!
Good job! As always! Can't wait to see it in person to find the monkey.

Wow! Well worth the challenge. I love the way it radiates out from the center.
Gorgeous! And I know exactly where the monkeys are!
I love that quilt! Your colors are amazing together.
OH, what an inspiration! I *MUST* do some baskets now!

Think I might see the monkeys, but it's hard to tell...I love everything about that quilt...love how the center is lighter and it darkens as you move out toward the borders. Love the 9Ps. Just love the basket blocks in general, and your colors are to die for. GREAT job! Thoughts on quilting?
How fun! Now it's on to quilting it, isn't it?
What a great accomplishment you're feeling! It's a beauty. I think I found the monkey basket--had to zoom to 500% to do it :) Congratulations!
A masterpiece! I felt no need to search for something out of place. It is all churning before my eyes. Love it!
