"A book of traditional blocks I read, To my ultimate quilt entry it led. Basket blocks caught my eye in the pursuit. Of course, the food for a basket is fruit! First, the work on the basket did commence, With my chosen traditional block-rail fence. Because realism is not my skill, For the fruit I used improv at will. I dove into my crumb bags like a crow, Sewing fruit colored fabric like a pro. Templates, appliqué and stitching were next. The assembly of pieces was quite complex! My teammate brought the basket alive. To her master quilting skills we all strive. I hope you enjoy my food creation, As much as I loved its formation!"
