Something that should have taken an hour - two max, has taken me three days because I keep getting interrupted. That's probably why it wasn't fixed years ago.
The problem was that one of the basket blocks had a black background and if you'll notice all the basket blocks except the center one have light backgrounds. So I unpicked the block (3rd block down on the left) and replaced it's four corners with snow fabric. I noticed that it was next to the other basket block with a pointed handle so I had to unpick another block and switch them. Much better~
It's kind of a quirky quilt with goofy baskets and chicken fabric but it was fun to make at the time.
It's now completely "complete" and #9 on my UFO list is done. Now I only have 14 on the list. (And 14 is a lot less that 15. . . )

Your quilt should be called Egg Baskets.
Good for you for getting this top complete. Mixing chickens and baskets is amusing. I like Karen's name, Egg Baskets. Or even Chicken Baskets. Something along those lines.
Isn't it funny the things we can't let slide in our quilts? Two pointed handles by each other..heaven forbid! :)
It looks really fun, Robin!
Glad you got that out of your system! Yes 14 is less than 15!
What a fun quilt. I participated in a BOM, back in 2005. I made all but one of the blocks, and have all the fabrics to finish that quilt, yet I've never gotten around to making that one block (not even a hard block). Have fun finishing your quilt.
Love your title, "Chicken in a Basket". Very creative. I understand the frustration of thinking something should take only a short time, but becomes a major project and gets put aside. Congrats for getting over the hurdle to aim for the finish.

Well done for reducing your list - one quilt at a time you will get there.
Your quilt is really cute - like it's name! But your comment, "14 is less than 15" made me laugh out loud! :)
