Backing 5

66” x 84” piece of batting

Constructing Basket Blocks1. HST units. Draw a diagonal line on the wrong side of (1) 2-1/2” N square. Place marked square, right sides together on a 2 1/2” C square. Sew 1/4” on either side of drawn line. Cut along drawn line, open and press to yield (2) HST units. Trim HST units to measure 2” square. Make a total of (2) N/C units and (4) N/P units. (Block uses (3) N/C units; reserve extra HST for subsequent blocks.)

2. Cut (1) 2” x 6-7/8” N piece on the diagonal as shown to make a trapezoid. Cut a second piece on the diagonal in the opposite direction to make a mirror image trapezoid.

3. Lay out (1) N/C unit, (2) N/P units, (3) 2-7/8” O triangles, (1) 2” x 6-7/8” N trapezoid into columns as shown. Sew the units into columns and join the columns.

4. In the same manner as in Step 1, make (2) HSTs using 4” N and C squares. Trim to measure 3-1/2” square. Draw a diagonal line on the wrong side of (1) 2” N square. Place square, right sides together and raw edges matching, at the C corner of the HST. Sew on drawn line. Trim 1/4” away from sewn line, open and press to reveal N corner triangle.

5. Lay out the pieced HST unit from step 4, (1) N/C unit, (1) N/P unit, (1) 2-7/8” O triangle, (1) 2” x 6-7/8” N mirror image trapezoid as shown. Sew the units into rows, join the rows, and add the pieced HST unit to the left side.

6. Sew the unit from step 3 to the unit from step 5 to make a half block.

7. Sew together (1) #1 N piece, (1) #2 A piece, and (1) 5” C triangle to make the opposite half block. Sew to the half block made in step 6 to make a brown block measuring 9-1/2” square.
