I decided to go ahead and make a small project - in between putting the quilt top together. I made the fabric basket. The directions are in Pink Penguin's post. It was really fun and easy to make, and it helped keep making progress on my SITP. I added a yellow fabric for the liner to keep it from looking like a SITP leftover. I pieced the lining, because the yellow fabric is a fourth-yard cut, and I needed 9 and 1/4 inch fabric. I figured I should add a bigger piece of fabric on each side, so looks like I did it on purpose. I think it adds a nice touch.
Kristin has made a nice pattern for a drawstring bag. It just might be next on my list of projects.
This is just to show what I was trying to explain yesterday - the rows have to be added before the corner can be added, because the nonpieced triangle is already sewed on. I only have two rows left! Of course they are the longest rows, but still.

The SITP is looking very nice. Of course I would say that since it is in my favorite color: blue.
looks like you're making steady progress towards the finish line! :-)
How big did the basket turn out? Large enough to be useful for holding something or pretty tiny?
Sweet little basket. And your SITP is stunning.
I was just meandering through your blog and found Shakspeare in the Park. I LOVE the layout and pattern of this quilt. I like just about anything Judy Martin designs. Did you ever get this one done??
