I’ve been wanting to make this basket quilt from the moment I saw issue 14 of Fresh Vintage. This morning I was just going to make one…and then move on to another project. But I couldn’t stop at one. I absolutely love this block with these fabrics.
I’m using Fig Tree scraps in this quilt–just as in the cover version…so far I’ve used Patisserie, Mill House Inn, Whimsy, and a small bit of Fresh Cottons left over from making this Satchel for Two bag. (I made the second version of this bag shown in the post–super pattern)!
These blocks are foolproof..no cut-off basket points possible. Well, gotta run…I must get back to making more baskets–have a wonderful day!

Sherri, I love your baskets. I also have this pattern and hope to get to it soon. I don't have a lot of Fig Tree scraps, but think I might order some Layer cakes to have on hand for it. Can't wait to see how it all comes together.
