March OMG Project

Getting in a quick post just under the wire to link up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal for March.... I am hoping to make significant progress on the baskets for Irene Blanck’s Basket Case quilt this month. I finally was able to see the finished top in person this week (this is a Irene’s):

The lighting wasn’t great in her classroom so the colors aren’t true. It’s such a happy quilt! I prepped quite a few blocks to take to the Academy but didn’t end up spending any time on them.  I want to get the center finished before she comes to teach in October.  So far I have two blocks finished. My goal for March is to finish half of the center baskets (so 16 more).  Ridiculous stretch, I know - but a girl can dream!
