- Combine 2-7/8" background squares with red squares of the same size (yield = 48 units that measure 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" after assembly).
- Combine remaining 2-7/8" background squares with blue squares of the same size (yield = (24 units that measure 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" after assembly).
- Combine 2-7/8" gold squares with blue squares of the same size (yield = 24 units that measure 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" after assembly).
- Combine remaining 2-7/8" red squares with green squares of the same size (yield = 36 units that measure 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" after assembly).
- Combine 4-7/8" gold squares with blue squares of the same size (yield = 12 units that measure 4-1/2" x 4-1/2" after assembly).
Cut remaining 2-7/8" blue squares in half once diagonally.
Cut 4-7/8" background squares in half once diagonally.
Sew the basket block together:
- See illustration, upper left. Arrange components into units as shown. Sew smaller half-square triangle units together in pairs as shown.
- See illustration, upper right. Press seam allowances in adjoining rows in opposite directions if possible. Sew units into two columns as shown, butting seams for a good match.
- See Illustration, lower left. press seam allowances in adjoining rows in opposite directions. Sew columns together. Sew a blue triangle to ends of 2-1/2" x 6-1/2" background bars. Press seam allowances towards the bars.
- Sew bars to the sides of the block (matching at straight edges).
- See illustration, lower right. Center a triangle cut from a 4-7/8" background square at the corner of the block. Sew and press seam allowance towards the triangle.
- Make a total of 12 Grape Basket blocks.
