Baskets can be found in many quilts. And they always seem to hold good things. Usually flowers or fruit but sometimes you’ll find another surprise.

In Grandmother’s Flower Garder you’ll findGrandmother’s Flower Basket. An abbreviated version of the block creates the blooms growing out of the pots in this basket made of woven fabric tubes. Doesn’t it look cute in thirties fabrics?! And check out those corners… bet you’ve never done that before.

Pippa Moore of Kitambaa Designs created this wallhanging called simply Grace. An elegant basket overflowing with flowers. A few of them have fallen and lay at the base of the basket. Fusible applique with easy-to-follow instructions allows you to put this one together even if you are a relative beginner.

This Fruit Basket by Bonnie Sullivan of All Through the Night looks good enough to eat. A wool penny rug in bright colors, this will look great in your kitchen and will get those appetites revved up.

What a combination… colorful log cabin blocks (use up your scraps!) and a basket full of kitties equals an adorable Kitties Pillow. If you don’t want to stuff it, you can make it a wall hanging. Irresistable either way.

These Thimble Baskets are so cute I might have to take up hand sewing just so I can justify having one (or more!) of these around. How about you? These are begging for someone to play with color combinations. Hmmm, you could even make a “green and yellow basket.”
