"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!"
