Another basket block up on the wall for the basket sampler quilt. And some star filler blocks.
I did not care for the basket block that was next in line in the pattern set. It was sort of a fan basket with yo-yo's for the base and the handle. I chose a Jan Patek design instead and modified it somewhat. I like the result much better than the original yo-yo basket block.
I made it to the craft store today for some supplies to decorate my new tree that I showed you in the last post. Hobby Lobby has some very similar trees and they are called Alpine trees. I was just calling mine a prim style tree. All their Christmas trees and decorations are half price right now.
A short post today. Stop back again soon.

Love it!!!!! *wink*
As I am not very crazy about yo-yo's, I love the choice you made making your basket. The blocks all look wonderful together. I'm going to have to put a basket quilt in my 'bucket list' :-) (aren't I funny?)
Love the basket block!
Sew cute!
Loved your Christmas tree story from the previous post...I think the tree is great...very "natural" looking! Looking forward to seeing how you decorate it. Love the basket block - and it's nice to change things to suit if you aren't keen on what the pattern is telling you!
love it...and the star!
oh how I miss Hobby Lobby! they don't have them here in NJ :(
Love your basket block with the cherries spilling into the next one - so whimsical!
Thanks for the tip on Hobby Lobby. I'll have to make time to get over there. Basket and stars are wonderful!

What are those fabrics in your blocks? They are gorgeous! Very pretty and I cannot wait to see more.
I love Hobby Lobby :D
Love the new block! Can't wait to see your tree decorated.
I love that basket block - love the way the flower droops over it. Alpine tree, I'll have to remember that!

I like your replacement block Karen! Looks great, and love your filler stars... Great fabrics! 8-)
Love your Prim style trees!
Have a great day!
I have a couple of Alpine trees that came in a set of three. Some years I decorate all three, some years none. And they are also pretty with no decorations at all!
Can't quite picture what the block would have looked like - but you've made an excellent substitution *s*
Lovely block. you are such an inspiration to me.
What gorgeous blocks and such warm and cozy colors.
