Paper-Piecing Tips:

When paper-piecing a block like the one above, I find
it easier to pre-cut my pieces so my fabric grainlines
will be near straight of grain.

However, when pre-cutting for paper-piecing, you must OVERSIZE
all pieces to allow for placement.

Here is a chart for cutting the pieces for the basket block

	Background strips	Basket strips	Background triangle	Basket triangle
Approximate sizes	2 1/4" wide	2 1/4" wide	6" square, halved	5" square, halved

For six (6) blocks, you will need:
(3) 5" squares for basket base,
(3) 6" squares of COC
5 COC strips 2 1/4" x WOF
2 strips 2 1/4" x WOF for basket handles
2 strips EACH 2 1/4" x WOF of TWO (2) coordinating fabrics
for basket strips.
