This time of year, I think about making a living Easter basket. The problem is I filled mine with ceramic figures and colorful candies like the scenes inside those sugar eggs we had as kids.
Three weeks before Easter we planted grass seed in an old wicker basket. Within days, the tender shoots sprout and continued flourishing with sunshine and watering. In fact, by Easter it was ready for a trim!
Isn't it sweet?
Instructions HERE.
This basket quilt was made using blocks I won in a guild raffle. The pattern is from Fons and Porter’s Classic Basket Patterns, 1984 (out of print).
In any sort of block exchange, sizes can vary. I used the smaller ones to make a pillow...
and label for the back of the quilt.
Lovely quilt Diane.
