easter baskets

I know Easter was a month ago, but I thought I would share these baskets I made anyway. I had the thought last year that a fabric Easter basket would be much more practical storage-wise than the traditional woven baskets. I made one for my youngest last year and then finished the other three this year. I found this tutorial from Michael Miller Fabrics but modified it so my baskets had one handle going across instead of the two smaller handles. They were fun to make and don't take up a lot of valuable storage space. Win, win!
