When I look at this fabric basket - I think how pretty the other fabrics would have looked in it too. It sits about 7 inches high - perfect for a box of tissues. It will go to Florida to my father-in-law's little beach bungalow, across the street from the beach. He drives there usually once a month and we usually visit there this time of the year - but, with the pandemic, we are staying put until we can get a vaccination. Thank you for all your wonderful input - it was fun - I am lucky to have such talented friends. Thanks bunches! Stay safe and hugs, Laura

Well done! What a beautiful basket and will be perfect for the Florida beach house. I may need to try my hand at making a few of these after I finish the quilt top I just started. Lovely, fabric choice, too.

It turned out perfect. With the choices you had you could have not gone wrong. This lining picks up the theme very well.

Great work on this Laura and the colours are so perfect for a beach house.
Your FIL will love it. All the fabrics match so well, but I think the fabric you chose for the lining, sets it off beautifully. Love Chris

Love this basket. I am one who has not tried one. Can you say where you got the pattern? I have sea themed embroideries just wondering how you did your basket or if there is a pattern.

Patty, just Goggle,
fabric basket pattern sewing instructions
It was the first site that comes up. The only differences is, I put the lining inside the finished basket, and finished the top edge and turned down and top stitched instead of turning it right side out. If you have any questions - just PM me and I would be happy to help. Hugs, Laura
