Farmers Market

I love going to the Farmer's Market this time of the year.  The fresh veggies are a real treat.  My trip to our local Farmers Market  inspired the quilt for this blog post.

The medallion layout with four pieced baskets and the border were designed in a previous blog post.

This week we will add fruit and veggies to our baskets.  All the applique elements came from the Electric Quilt library -- so no drawing skills are required for this quilt.

Once the applique was added to the medallion block, it needed to be resized and rotated and layered under parts of the basket. 

​How to do that is covered in this free video tutorial.

Here is the quilt from the video.  I used Twilight Chic from Island Batik to color the quilt.  This fabric collection was one of the free Fabric of the Month downloads from Do You EQ.
