I am thrilled that my quilt "Pharaoh's Tombs" has been selected as a finalist in the NQM contest Baskets -- New Quilts from an Old Favorite. The 5 top winnners are pictured in the link and are marvelous quilts.
I love the challenge of this annual contest and used EQ7 in designing my baskets. Here are some of my potential basket deisgns.
I liked this fresh modern look of the Baskets in the Courthouse design, but my family didn't think it to be a winner.
And then some other EQ7 designs that I considered are
... Basket in Baskets ...
... Pineapple Basket ...
... Rows of Baskets ...
and then ... Blue Baskets ... which went on to become "Pharaoh's Tombs."
The name "Pharaoh's Tombs" came from my sister, Emily. She thought the baskets looked more like pyramids and suggested the name for my quilt.
