Little Baskets

30.5" x 24.5" wallhanging. Machine pieced and hand quilted.  Completed in 1995. Very old traditional pattern with an intentional mistake in the setting of the squares.  "There is a long standing theory/myth that traditionally quilters made one intentional mistake in every quilt- turning a block wrong, using a different color patch, etc- as a religious tradition. Because only God is perfect, no one should attempt to make a perfect quilt, so women supposedly included a “humility block” in all their quilts." from fallingforpieces.wordpress.com.  A fun and fast project.
