Layer a markedsquare right sides together with a fabric F square;stitch 1/4” on each side of the drawn diagonal line.Cut the squares apart on the line to make two half-square-triangle units. Make a total of 50 small units.

2. Draw a diagonal line from corner to corner on thewrong side of each fabric D square. Layer a markedsquare right sides together with a fabric G 7 7/8"square; stitch 1/4" on each side of the drawn diagonalline. Cut the squares apart on the line to make twohalf-square-triangle units.

Stitchdirectly on the marked line. Trim the excess cornerfabric, leaving a 1/4" seam allowance. Press the seamallowances toward the resulting triangle. Make five.Using a ruler and rotary cutter, cut each square on thediagonal to yield five triangle units and five reversedtriangle units.

4. Join ten small half-square-triangle units, one largehalf-square-triangle unit, and one fabric F 1 7/8" squareto make a basket unit as shown. Make five of these units.

5. Join fabric H triangles to the top of each basketunit. Then join a triangle unit and a reverse triangleunit to the base of each basket unit as shown in thephoto to complete the block. Make five Basket blocks.The blocks should measure 12 7/8" square.
