Basically you make 25 patch blocks in 5 colorways and then call the "numbers" as a color and fabric style - like "Yellow Batik." It was a fun activity and best of all the blocks were then donated and made into quilts for the Ronald McDonald House! So far the two in the photo are finished and two more are being bound.
And on a side note...I've found a "new to me" author that me and some friends are reading through...
On the quilting side...I am doing some planning and puttering in the sewing room today. I have these vintage basket blocks and am thinking of embroidering family names on them. Like a family tree except in baskets...
Still pondering...

I really like the quilt bingo idea--and the fact that the blocks get made into donation quilts afterward.
Another cool idea, to embroider family names in the vintage basket blocks. Wonderful!
Great idea for the basket blocks. You might start a new wave with this family basket. ;)
Fun bingo game! Those blocks make pretty quilts. Cute idea for the basket blocks too :)
Your basket blocks idea makes me want to try a basket quilt. There was a time when I was buying lots of Ohio baskets.
Also I have read several of the Cleverly books and love them. It's fun to have a window on another time and place.
those bingo quilts turned out great!
bingo quilts are wonderful
I have to tell you I love those basket blocks, that is on my short list of quilts to make a basket block quilt like this from the stash…
thanks for sharing your antique treasures.
