Oh-oh-oh! Each pic is more beautiful than the last. These are wonderful I could even see one on a holiday table holding rolls. This has to go on my to-do list!

I think it's a terrific American flag
Did you have a pattern for the bag? If yes, what was it?

People are asking about the baskets. It is a free pattern online. I have a link to the site on my blog. Hope over to PiecefulDays.SquareSpace.com Probably the easiest route to the baskets is to go to the top of my blog where it says "List of all Postings" or something like that. Then, follow the list down toward the bottom to the "Patchwork Baskets" post. Be sure to share a picture when you make one!!! Beware: They are a bit addicting!

I just changed the pattern by using selvedge strips. I first sew them to a plain foundation piece, then trim to the proper size as shown.
