Dear Jane Quilt - Block J12 Rebecca's Basket

Dear Jane Quilt - Block J12 Rebecca's Basket

It seems that all sampler quilts have an obligatory basket block in them.  I did baskets in my Nearly Insane quilt.  This is Dear Jane block J12 Rebecca's Basket.  I think there is some dispute throughout the Dear Jane world about the orientation of this block in the final quilt.  In the original it is on its side, but I think it will be hard for me to  follow that particular convention.

Techniques: English Paper Piecing and applique

Nearly Insane Quilt - Edge Block 88 (Basket Block)

Block 88, Basket Block, Nearly Insane Quilt

This is the final basket block for this quilt.  I have used the same fabric combination as I used for Block 47 back in March.  The fabrics are really pretty, but they have a pink element in them, so I have avoided them for most of the quilt.  I just didn't want Block 47 to be on its own. 


Basket Blocks, Nearly Insane Quilt

Here are all the basket blocks together, with one full one and two edge blocks. It ended up as one fruit basket and two flower baskets. These are the only blocks which require applique, and you can see how I made the bias handle strip by visiting the post on Block 41.
