Today was a running around type of day. It is extremely hot and uncomfortable. When I returned home, I thought it might cool me off if I started on the Harvest Basket block by April Adams. I had a lot of fun making this block. For the first two blocks, I have been able to use fabric from my autumn stash. For the second block, the only new fabric I used was the grunge fabric that I purchased last week. Thanks to the great directions on the pattern, and extra tips from Abbie and Sherry, I was able to complete this block without any problems.
Oh, by the way…it is still hot! I have the AC running, but I needed to have a box fan in my sewing studio.
It is only June 1.
I don’t even want to think of August.
I love how your basket turned out. The blue/yellow fabric adds a nice touch!
Hoping you’re able to stay cool 😎 in spite of the heat.

How fun to see the different versions, I just checked out Abbie’s on her blog. You know I love the grunge fabric – I highly approve! 🙂
Yay! I’m glad you approve!😊
Hi again,
I understand the A/C plus box fan! I have moved my iron out of my sewing room for the summer. It sits at the foot of my bed with a ceiling fan directly over it. I rarely iron and then hop right into bed (!!) so it cools off nicely, and I tuck all the cords out of the way on top of the ironing board so I don’t trip on them during the night. It works and keeps the heat out of my sewing room. Really cute second block! Love it! Happy Saturday! ~smile~ Roseanne
I like that better than the traditional basket blocks that are so fussy.
I agree. This design has a cleaner, more modern look.
Pretty. I need to get mine posted. I finished it, just did not post it. Dang it!
I’d love to see it.
