Quilting in Spain

I've been emailing some with a Spanish quilter named Lola Ruiz whom I came across on flickr. She has a website with some great quilt photos, some hers and some other peoples', as well as some interesting posts on how she quilts. Some of the blog is in English and some is in Spanish, but the pictures speak a universal language, so look at the galleries and check her links as well. Very nice stuff! Inspiring. I wish i spoke Spanish well enough even to know how to say inspiring.

Another Quilted Basket

I tried using the customary linen scraps with intense free motion in this one and was pretty pleased with the results.

This is what the 13" square fabric looked like when I was finished with it.  Then I cut it into four pieces and repieced it and by then it looked like this:

Lighting a little different; the color in the first picture is more accurate..in the finished basket, the color got too blued.  need to work on it.
