a sew illustrated basket, take II

After spending a good part of early spring fixing Brick Master's bedroom, it is nice to do some girly sewing:
I sewed a sew illustrated basket for myself!

And it looks perfect with the sweet Liberty of London pin cushions

I made earlier.

For this basket, I use this collections of prints

I found at my local quilt store:

They are regular cotton prints, the collection is Garden Delights, not Liberty of London, even if their floweriness seems familiar.
And unlike the previous basket I made for my mom,

where I used plain pieces of fabric for the sides, this time I followed the instructions and sewed 4 patch  and 2 patch pieces for the sides.

But I took a shortcut by stamping one of the image instead of stitching it! I also did not add the handles, I think it is just perfect as is.


Happy sewing!
