Summer in the magazine pattern writing world means only one thing – time to make the Christmas projects!  This is actually September’s issue of the mag that arrived while I was away on holiday, and I’ll do this month’s, just out today, next week (did you follow that? :oD )  BTW, I love the look of that cover quilt by Lynne Goldsworthy, oh to find the time to make one…

So for this issue I decided to try something I’d been pondering for a while, whether or not I could make something out of only one piece of fabric, or in this case one quilted piece of fabric.  I came up with this interlocking basket, which is pretty simple, and I really think I need a few of them for different seasons!

Even if you have only a little spare time this Christmas, these would make perfect gift baskets, go on, you know you want to!
