Day 12 of Block a Day December

There was a lot of excitement at our place today as all three families visited to go Christmas tree hunting. There are a lot of self seeded pines up in the bush and along the edge of the tracks so it's always fun to find the best ones.
I was at work today so missed all the adventures; however there is some photo evidence which I have enjoyed. And I'm looking forward to seeing all the decorated trees!
It was another last minute block for today. The basket block by Michelle Ridgeway Designs —
I made a few earlier on for my Lockdown quilt. This wee design/idea was gifted by Michelle during lockdown. The idea that stitching the basket blocks would prevent us becoming Basket cases during the time! Fun :-) 
These are some that I have done previously —

'til next time,
happy stitches,

    love your little baskets and fun looking for the trees... we always got ours that way growing up... somehow the forestry places are not keen on it ...

    Pretty little basket blocks, I've been toying with making them when I saw Michelle's pattern, but so far have stalled. Maybe sometimes soon?

    I just finished my Basket Case quilt. Loved every minute of it. Lovely fabrics and beautifully neat applique.

    Very cute. It must be such fun for the kidlets to hunt for the perfect tree.

    I do like these baskets. I'm going to have to go back on Michelle's blog and see if I can find it, or write and ask to buy the whole pattern for her quilt, as I like the center basket, too. I'm enjoying the fact that you have worked on several different quilts during your block a day.
