Basket quilt question
[img]Grandma Boeder's baskets jpg paint.net4.2.16[/img]My friend is making a quilt for a graduating senior grandson. She has a set of 11 basket squares that this child's grandmother started, and she is no longer living. My friend wants to incorporate these baskets into a quilt whose theme would be basketball. I can't load the pictures onto my thread. None of the baskets have flowers, they are all a neutral tan colors. Thanks for any suggestions

Hmmm - maybe make a two sided quilt?
Or two quilts?
How attached was this boy to the deceased grandmother? Would he have any appreciation - at this time of his life - for those basket blocks - regardless of who made them?

I have been making all my quilts double sided. Uses up some of my stash and orphan blocks. I would save the basket blocks for someone who was close to the grandmother, and stick to basketball theme fabric for the graduate.
