A Tisket A Tasket Quilt

I finally finished the quilting!  I had fun doing the fill in around the applique in each of the blocks.  I did a stitch in the ditch around the appliques first.
Then I continued by stitching the sashing with a variegated blue thread.  The fabric has a bit of shading in it, and I wanted it to blend in, but show a bit....
I finished by doing feathered hooks in the background of the final border.  I also added a small feathered wreath in each of the corners, and finished by adding a yellow button to each of the bows.  I wanted to continue the embellishment of buttons that was in most of the blocks.


Now all I need to do is take a final picture of the whole quilt, as soon as one of my photo assistants arrives home!
