Basket Quilt Block

August 21, 2023 By A Spoonful of Sugar - Leave a Comment

One of the most classic and versatile quilt blocks is the basket block. It can be used to create a variety of patterns and designs, from traditional to modern. If you love basket blocks, you’ll love our new foundation paper piecing pattern that includes 5 quilt block sizes ranging from 2 inches to 6 inches.

Foundation paper piecing is a technique that allows you to create precise and intricate shapes with ease. You simply sew the fabric pieces onto a paper template, following the numbered order and seam lines. Then you trim the excess fabric and paper, and voila, you have a perfect basket block.

Our basket foundation paper piecing pattern is available as a digital download in our Pattern Store and Etsy Shop. You’ll get a PDF file with the instructions and templates for all 5 sizes. You can print as many copies as you need and mix and match the sizes to create your own unique project.

Whether you want to make a mini quilt, a bag, a table runner, a pillow, or more, you’ll find plenty of inspiration and possibilities with this pattern. Don’t miss this opportunity to add some charm to your next project with these lovely basket blocks. 😊
