A lovely job. I too have some trouble with those half squares, but there are so many wonderful blocks that have them..........I just keep at it.
As someone else said, they get better with practice. Don't give up. You may want to do another basket weave and give it to a loved one.

Have you ever tried the half-square method where you begin with 2 squares, right sides together, draw a line diagonally, stitch a quarter inch on each side of the line, cut on the line. You end up with 2 squares. It works so well. No stretching, etc. The square must be cut larger than the finished size.
