I think they will be Christmas gifts this year for my friends. a great go to project to make a head of time or last minute. THey are really easy and fun. Thanks for picking this topic Teresa!

Thanks ladies. Lynnie the mystery train quilt started today. I've had a problem with my right hand and have not been using it much (typing ect.) so it will heal. I was trying to open a stupid bottle of water and I couldn't break the seal,sooo..... of course I gave it more pressure and got a slight sprain. I never had one so hard to open. Anyway I made most of my basket and it is really big. The pattern was miss marked and I didn't want to recut the fabric and waste it. So,whoever I get will get a pretty big basket. It will be useful in the sewing room though. Just looks huge. I'd show a little hint but I'm afraid I might not get a partner then.lol. Have a good evening all.

Mary mine is about 9 x9 x 3 give or take I don't know if that is big or not.
Pintrest has a zillion baskets, with and without handles on them.
they don't have to have handles, mine doesn't. just have fun with it.
Look around a bit befor doing it and you'll be making them as fast as you can!
Mary, hope you're feeling better soon. I strained my hand doing EPP. a quilting accident!

Mine is 9x9x4. My son says "That won't hold water" I told him that wasn't a requirement! Just finishing my embellishments. I got to use a tool I've had for years and never opened! Too much fun.

I think mine is a little different, never made one of these before. Lots of thread involved....already gone through 2 bobbins and it's not done. 3 rd bobbin will be charm I think 
It's a varigated turquoise color, I think I could get addicted to making these.

Mine uses batiks and i'm not done building the sides yet, so not sure how tall it will be. I'm going to put a handle on it, so that will increase the height. Once I get the body finished, it must be embellished to really set it off. I'm not going to want to give it up!!!
