Bloggers Challenge - Patchwork Easter Basket

Happy Bloggers Challenge Friday, I'm glad you stopped by today!  This weeks Bloggers Challenge Theme is Bags or Boxes. Using your Big Shot with material has become pretty popular these days, not only is it quick, but makes great projects!  Long before I ever got into stamping I use to sew, not on a regular basis, but I none the less I could sew.  I took sewing lessons as a child, and later put those skills to use creating patchwork Christmas Tree Skirts, Crib Dust Ruffles and my boys Halloween Costumes.  These days for the most part, I generally just mend items, nothing major.  Well thanks to the Big Shot and come wonderful dies, I've created todays project!

I used Spellbinders Square dies to cut the squares for my patchwork, and Stampin' Up! Fancy Favor Box Die for my basket, I think it took me longer to turn my handle inside out, than it did to create the entire project.  After my squares were all assembled, I used the Fancy Favor Die to cut my Box.  I also cut one from some quilting material for the inside of the basket.  Sewed my pieces together, sewed the side, than hand stiched the bottom closed.  The handle is attached to the side with two buttons.  Makes a cute little Easter Basket, don't you think?
