Some little baskets stitched

Love the French General fabric range and the colours are so perfect.   A few years ago I came across the first range to arrive in Australia, I was totally hooked.  I ordered a good slab of each fabric that took my eye and then a few metres of the above linnen, that came in rolls and was essentially a tea towel.
I started to sketch up some floral basket designs and hunted out some red embroidery threads and began to stitch the baskets I liked.  I have since done a couple of interesting pieced blocks to add to the quilt and a largish centre applique piece that I am experimenting with different effects.
This is a labour of love and a long term project...
