\t\t\t\tDid you know that February is National Cherry Month? Maybe it\u2019s because George Washington\u2019s Birthday is February 22<\/span>nd<\/sup> (\u201cI didn\u2019t cut down the cherry tree\u201d). Or maybe it\u2019s because one of the quilts featured in Eleanor Burns\u2019 2012 Block Party, <\/span>Quilts From El\u2019s Kitchen, <\/i>highlighted a <\/span>Cherry Basket Quilt.\"El's<\/a><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

With the cherry basket block<\/i>, Eleanor showed how it could be repeated on its own in a beautiful quilt, as well as the center of the quilt made from the all the blocks in this latest book.\"_i4c3248\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

The recipe Eleanor gave for the cherry basket block<\/i> is perfect to make to celebrate National Cherry Month:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
