Today I walked past Julie Silber’s antique quilt store on Hopkins in Berkeley. There was an elaborate basket quilt in the window, which reminded me of basket quilts I’ve done in the past. Mostly I do “liberated” baskets ala Gwen Marston. This quilt was in my first post for this blog!

There were so many blocks donated that mine, with 2 baskets in one block, ended up on the back.
Here’s a disappearing pinwheel variation that forms a basket.
