Baskets
Linda Baxter Lasco, ed.
AQS Publishing; $26.95

One of my favorite books of the year features the winning quilts from the New Quilts from an Old Favorite contest sponsored by The National Quilt Museum. The block for 2011 was Baskets. The entries always showcase creativity and innovation by individual quilters interpreting one block. Each of the 18 winning and finalist quilts is shown in full color along with comments from the quiltmaker. I enjoy learning more about the quilter’s design process, where the inspiration came from, and new techniques. All the quilts definitely open your mind to the concept of basket and beyond. A terrific inspirational and learning resource.

Look for the book at your favorite book retailer. Here’s a link to Amazon if you would like to learn more about the book.
