| A Tisket A Tasket quilting pantograph |
While I was in London, Lupine and Laughter was at the longarmer. I often select a pantograph; but, ask the longarmer to pass judgment. After all, they likely have stitched that pattern and have a better understanding of whether it will work well or not for my project! They concurred with the pattern that I chose. The pattern is called A-Tisket A-Tasket.

| Quilting texture from the front |
I like the texture that the quilting provides.

| Binding corner close up and backing true color |
I decided that I would make the sleeve and binding out of the leftover backing. I bought the wide backing last year during a sale.The other fabrics came mostly came from my stash. Alvera and Rosanne sent me some pink fabrics which certainly added to the scrappiness of this project. I had a few fat quarters on hand for the blue as well as strips. For the inner skinny blue border, I sacrificed some fabric that I'm using for my 2025 temperature quilt. The purple came from chunks and strips. The background fabric also came from leftovers and free table finds.

| The Label |
This time, I finished stitching the binding by hand. I thought I would lose fewer points that way! The label came from a yard of fabric I purchased three decades ago. The labels are large. I liked it because of the floral pattern. I've had a hard time using them; but, it worked perfectly on this backing fabric.

| Close up of the label information |
I left space on the label so that when the quilt determines its forever home, I can add the information about the recipient.

| Quilt front and back |
I used 19 yards of fabric for this project. This is the third quilt that I have finished this year. This is Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt that she released at the end of last year. I'm excited to have finished this project way before Bonnie releases the information for the next mystery in October!
