Basket Case
FINISHED QUILT: 65½˝ × 81¾˝
Designer: Angela Walters
Pieced by Mary Workman and Jessica Harrison; machine quilted by Angela Walters
When I set out to design a project that would showcase texture, all I could think about was a quilt that incorporated a weave element. After many tries, I finally came up with Basket Case, not your typical woven-looking quilt. With plenty of background area to showcase your favorite quilting design, this quilt will have people wanting to run their hands over it!
Materials
Cream solid: 5 yards with at least 42˝ usable width for background
Blue solids: 2 shades totaling 2⅛ yards for blocks and binding
Batting: 74˝ × 90˝
Backing: 5⅛ yards
Cutting
Cream solid
• Cut 14 strips 1¼˝ × width of fabric.
• Cut 13 strips 3¾˝ × width of fabric; subcut as follows:
For 8˝ columns:
30 segments 1¾˝ × 3¾˝
32 segments 2½˝ × 3¾˝
26 segments 3¼˝ × 3¾˝
For 11˝ columns:
20 segments 1¾˝ × 3¾˝
20 segments 3˝ × 3¾˝
20 segments 3¾˝ × 3¾˝
16 segments 4½˝ × 3¾˝
TIP Cutting multiple strips at once will make the process go much more quickly.
• Cut 2 strips 8˝ × length of fabric (after you have cut the above strips); subcut into:
8˝ × 5½˝ (Column 1a)
8˝ × 34½˝ (Column 1b)
8˝ × 59˝ (Column 2)
8˝ × 15¾˝ (Column 5a)
8˝ × 11¼˝ (Column 5b)
8˝ × 5¼˝ (Column 8a)
8˝ × 31½˝ (Column 8b)
• Cut 1 strip 4˝ × 81¾˝ (Column 6; cut lengthwise).
• Cut 2 strips 11˝ × length of fabric; subcut into:
11˝ × 13¾˝ (Row 3a)
11˝ × 39¼˝ (Row 3b)
11˝ × 34¾˝ (Row 7a)
11˝ × 18¼˝ (Row 7b)
Blue solids
• Cut 14 strips 3˝ × width of fabric.
• Cut 8 strips 2¼˝ × width of fabric for binding.
Making the Quilt
1. Sew a cream strip 1¼˝ × width of fabric to a blue strip. Press carefully. Repeat with the remaining 1¼˝ cream strips and the remaining blue strips to make a total of 14 strip units.
2. Subcut the strips as follows:
For the 8˝ column:
7 strips, 8˝ long
15 strips, 5½˝ long
16 strips, 4˝ long
13 strips, 2½˝ long
For the 11˝ column:
5 strips, 11˝ long
10 strips, 8½˝ long
10 strips, 6˝ long
10 strips, 4½˝ long
8 strips, 3˝ long
3. Sew each size of blue-and-cream strip to the appropriate cream side pieces as shown in the diagrams below.

11˝ block assembly
4. Piece the columns as shown in the quilt assembly diagram. Then sew the columns together in the indicated order to finish the quilt top.

The Quilting
Layer the top, batting, and backing. Bind the quilt.
The choice of solid fabric for this quilt was not an accident! I wanted to be sure that the texture that quilting adds could be seen.
