FREE Quilt Pattern Friday! *Basket Quilts* – Fons & Porter
Basket quilts, like today’s FREE quilt pattern, make wonderful one-of-a-kind gifts and keepsakes that are sure to be treasured and admired, especially as the seasons change. For many quilters, basket quilt patterns create a warm, springtime feeling.
This style of quilt dates back to the 18th century and is still among some of the best-loved quilt designs today, showcasing a clever layout. Their variety, versatility, and charm give them special appeal for quilters of all skill levels. Whether using one or two basket blocks in a small quilt project, or creating many basket quilt blocks as the main focus of a larger quilt, baskets perfectly exemplify the tradition of patchwork quilts and appliqué designs inspired by everyday household objects. The basket quilt is perfect for those quilters looking for a traditional quilt pattern with a fresh and new look.
Quilts like Baskets in the Garden by Vicki Lynn Oehlke, attract scrap quilters and fat quarter lovers (yes–this one is fat quarter friendly!). 1930s prints add to the sweet look of this project which features dimensional appliqué and a unique border corner treatment.
