Assemble the Basket Block's Triangle Square Units

Triangle Units for the Basket Quilt Block

  1. Pair the seven light background squares with dark squares of the same size. Pair the three medium light squares with three medium dark squares of the same size.

  2. Use my scrappy quick pieced triangle square method to sew then cut apart each pair, producing 20 triangle square units.

  3. Cut each of the three remaining 3 7/8" medium-dark squares in half once diagonally to produce six half square triangles.

  4. Cut the 9-7/8" basket base square in half once diagonally, then do the same with the dark basket leg squares.

  5. Cut the 6-7/8" light background square in half once diagonally.
