February Love Basket Block

This February Basket block is part of my Wooly Basket Calendar Quilt.  The pattern is from the Starry Pines Pattern Company: http://starrypinespatterncompany.com/spindex2.html

 

I used wool for the hand-appliqued basket, cotton flannel for the background fabric, and black perle cotton for the embroidery.

Tutti Frutti Lovesong                                

You are my darling CUMQUAT                               

     Oh, you’re my PEACHy pie,                    

I think you are the BERRIES,                  

     The APPLE of my eye.                           

Don’t make me MELON-choly,                 

     Please be my HONEY DEW,                   

‘Cause oh, my sweet PAPAYA,                

   I’m BANANAs over you.                                                                         

I would be oh, so GRAPEful          

     If you’d just say you care,

For it takes two to MANGO,         

     And we’re a PEACHy PEAR.         

                                                                       

Oh, ORANGE you a little              

     COCONUTS for me too?                       

Please say you’ll be mon CHERRY,

     I’m so GUAVA over you.
