This is stunning! I like to do embroidery too and I'm always looking for beautiful ways to make quilts from embroidered blocks. I love the gray neutral sashing, it really lets the baskets shine for themselves.

Almost (but not quite!) the fabulous label is the most amazing part of this heirloom quilt! How blessed the maker would be to know how cared for her quilt has been. Beautiful work all around!
