I'm still quilting my latest project, but I took some time off this afternoon. After teaching a workshop on clothesline baskets, I came home and started wrapping some for myself.
I was inspired to try a new edging after watching a tutorial at Ami Simms website. She made hers with cotton clothesline that was dyed, but I used the regular wrapped clothesline.
The edging takes way more line that you might think, but it creates an interesting edge.
I also had a shorter piece of clothesline, so I kept wrapping.....
This used some leftover fabric from my grandson's quilt, along with the selvedge and some narrow strips of a multicoloured stripe that I used for the sashing in another project. I decided to finish with some swirls on the outside this time.
Now back to quilting.

Your baskets are wonderful. Wishing I were closer to you so I could take the workshop. The problem with being a hands-on learner is that you need a teacher. I am a combination learner which means I can do it w/o a teacher but learn faster with one.
