You're almost finished with the basket quilt block.

  1. Sew a basket leg triangle to the end of two background rectangles, making a mirror image pair as shown above. Press seam allowances toward the triangles.

  2. Sew the units from Step 1 to the right side and bottom of the block. Press seams toward the new units.

  3. Finish the basket quilt block by sewing the longest edge of a light background triangle to the lower right edge of the block. Center it carefully before sewing. Press seam allowance toward the large triangle.

  4. Use the remaining pieces to make another basket quilt block.

Cut additional sets of fabric to make additional scrappy basket blocks.
