Made this this morning. Going to bind it in red (or dark brown?)

Just making two blocks, one to hang in my house and the other.... Or I may put the two together into a pillow. I wanted to make this for in my kitchen, but this one is too big for the space I wanted to put it. Oh well, I will resize the pattern and do another one or two.
It's an easy block to do.

The one I make for the kitchen I am going to finish so it hangs this way and not angled like they usually do. Will make a sleeve or corner holders for a rod across the middle and a hanger for the top.

Scrapy Baskets.

I've also seen it as May Baskets other places. It's also part of a quilt on one of the current quilting magazines. (Don't remember which one).

Oh so pretty!

I love it. I also think red would be distracting since it is small. Go with either brown or green?

I love the look of basket blocks but hesitate because of all the itty bitty pieces. Lovely work!

Great block. I would go with the med. to darker green.
