My blocks 3 & 4. I'm doing this "true" scrappy by grabbing fabrics out of bags without looking. Surprised the Basket fabrics went together pretty well, but that blue and green on #4 was difficult to put together! Ew!

Here are my blocks three and four - to make the handle, I used some wonder under and ironed it on and then machine appliqued it.

Thanks! I'm certainly hoping they "play" well together in the end!

OMG!!! Tell me please there is no another basket to do!! I am really trying to PP but it is very challenging- not sure if it is me or the technique. By the time I finished it (used my seam ripper 3 times!) I coudn't think of applique the handle by hand. I ended up machine appliqueing it. I also think I should have use a different thread color but I am no doing it again!!
I have yet to do #4!
