I had to stitch 2 pieces of scraps together to get a 10 inch square but it worked. Just look at the pattern and see where you have to cut and where you have to stitch and stitching the scraps is easier.
I think these would sell if made with themed fabric and are useful for any number of things, even non-sewing/quilting things! lol
Scroll down a bit on her free patterns page to see the Petit Four Baskets.

I got a little basket similar to those at a quilt guild auction. I bought it because it was cute but had no idea what I would do with it. Oh my goodness! I use it all the time to hold all those things one must have near when stitching...my seam ripper, extra needle packet, thread snips, stilleto, a few safety pins, a small 6 inch ruler....I could not live without it now. So if you make some of those, be sure to have a display of one holding things....pens and pens, keys, loose change, jewelry, whatever!
