Six-Inch Basket Quilt Block Pattern - Variable Handles

I love these 6" basket blocks! Each one is made with two fabrics: a brightly colored basket with a background that's white and black, or the reverse, a black and white basket against a bright background. Don't panic about the handle -- it can be appliquéd, but that's only one choice. You might prefer to sew on a rickrack handle or make it with decorative stitches.

Sophie included some examples of quilts that inspired the block in one of the Block Lotto forum posts -- be sure to take a look because the quilts are lovely. You'll also find lots more photos of blocks within the discussion, including closeups of handle variations. As always, the pattern will remain archived forever and can be used to make a quilt of your own.
