How precious! I remember as a young girl; my sister, brother and I would pick lilacs and daffodils from our yard and take them the all the neighbor ladies in our block. We would knock, run as fast as we could and hide to watch the expressions on their faces when they saw the flowers. What fun! Can you imagine someone opening up a gift of May Day baskets? Awesome...
Beautiful. Would love to see the May Day Baskets on point. You make it always look so easy. Thank-you for your time and talent and sharing them freely. God bless you and yours.
I really love this quilt. I will be making this one for sure. Thanks Jenny. Even though I don't take the time to comment each week, I want you to know that you are appreciated for all you do and for all the work that you and your family and team put into making these tutorials possible for the rest of us. Have a blessed day!
WOW! I'm still a fairly new quilter. and I have purposely stayed away from patterns like this. To look at the photo, to me, it looks difficult. But I would never have guess the technique in making the square! So I am going to buy the materials and try to make one! I so love your tutorials! You make everything look so easy and fun!
Your tutorials are so inspiring Jenny! I always like the fabrics you use for the projects too. I suspect that is something that comes with experience. Thank you for sharing your time and talent so generously!
Awesome and easy way to make a basket block! I too am angle challenged. I love math but not geometry...go figure. Thanks for simplifying this block for us.
I am looking over it and think it is even easier to sew it together like a four patch. four half square triangles one block [a] two half square triangles with a strip to the right- another with a strip to the left and then- Big half square triangle another block . but either way, it works.
Great tutorial and I love the easy instructions. I look forward to making it. In order to make it look more like a handle, I think in the second row, the middle block should be background fabric.
You must be a mind reader. I was trying to figure out how to make this block for 10". I just couldn't get my mind around it. Same goes for anything triangles, I get them turned around. Just watching your tutorials has help me a lot.
update: I ended up making 50 blocks from the burgundy/blush strips with five really light strips and enough to make another block left over. I had to order extra background fabric for the side setting triangles since I set the basket on point. It made a beautiful quilt!
Got this pattern during Shop Hop in the Carolinas this past summer. Have been looking for jelly rolls and can't find the colors I like to match my bedroom. Dusty rose with sage green. Will look at your website and see if I can find something I like. I don't plan to make a big one, but will make a square quilt that will fit on my bedroom wall.
Thanks Jenny this was the easiest way I've seen to do that block. I started doing it a different way & I can;t seem to get the 'feet' of the basket to go the right way so I've just given up on doing it.
Jenny i bought the slotted trim tool because u used it in another video, but why dont u use it to trim off the dog ears? Other wise u could have just used a strip tube ruler. I guess i have one of the inquiry mines and just wanted to know the reason. Thanks
I bought the slotted trimmers and almost immediately broke one. Since I don’t need another full set, I will try to use another strip tube ruler I have. This is a really cute pattern. One caution; the slotted trimmers make HSTs just a little on the small side, at least that was my experience, so measure yours before using them in a pattern that uses other rulers in your blocks. I hope that makes sense.
I found this to be true as well. I misplaced my slotted trimmer after trimming several blocks, so went to my bloc-Loc trimmer. They were not the same size. The ones trimmed with the slotted trimmer were slightly smaller. Knowing this, you can use the slotted trimmers by putting the stitching line on the trimmer slightly above your stitching line.
Is this happening to anyone else? I’m following the instructions exactly except using the quilt-in-a-day hst square up rulers. I never cut out a whole quilt until I’ve tried a few blocks. My squares are 3 inches and unfinished blocks are 10 ½ inches. I’m getting THREE blocks from each strip set (18 hst) . Not a bad problem to have but if I keep going I’m going to end up with 20 extra blocks?

The rulers are wonderful to help keep your blocks consistent when working with half square triangles, but they are not a necessity to create this quilt! :)
But so helpful to keep everything consistent and well pieced. They helped me so much it was worth it. But if you can do well without them, more power to you. And you have my admiration!
Agree with Maria! The slotted rulers are just another way to trim/make hst. Though I will say, I use the slotted rulers for all of my hst so they aren't a single use tool like some rulers are.
You can absolutely do this pattern without the Perfect Slotted Trimmers! We just like to show off some tools that can make quilting a bit easier. As long as you square your little half square triangles to 3" and your larger half square triangle block to 5.5" you will be golden! We sure hope this helps clarify! Happy sewing!
How precious! I remember as a young girl; my sister, brother and I would pick lilacs and daffodils from our yard and take them the all the neighbor ladies in our block.

LOVED the basket quilt with all of it’s shabby chic goodness!!! Nothing beats a vintage looking classic quilt!!!
We totally agree!
I have done these baskets and they were very hard, but the way you teach it looks so easy. Thanks
Thanks for breaking down this block for easy construction. I can see putting those baskets on point.
This is adorable, and wouldn’t be hard to adapt to a larger size, if need be. Thanks, Jenny!
That is one of the many reasons we love half square triangles so much! We're glad you enjoyed this tutorial.
Beautiful. Would love to see the May Day Baskets on point. You make it always look so easy. Thank-you for your time and talent and sharing them freely. God bless you and yours.

You make everything so easy! 😃. That’s why I watch every week and have almost every issue of that wonderful publication BLOCK IDEA BOOK
This is the second quilt this week that I have seen using that same fabric! It is lovely and definitely shabby chic!
WOW! I'm still a fairly new quilter. and I have purposely stayed away from patterns like this. To look at the photo, to me, it looks difficult. But I would never have guess the technique in making the square! So I am going to buy the materials and try to make one! I so love your tutorials! You make everything look so easy and fun!
Thank you for showing us how easy it is to put this pattern together. Beautiful job
Beautiful😊Love how you demonstrated how the block was made..your explanation spot on. Very pretty fabrics too.
I absolutely LOVE basket quilts! This one is wonderful and I will be making it soon! Thanks Jenny!
This is so pretty..I wish I a have 100 more years on me to make all this fabulous quilts..Your awesome with your easy tuts.
Love the colors. I have difficulty putting together colors, so I love seeing your choices. Such a simple pattern that results in a gorgeous quilt!
Wonderful! I love this old fashion pattern and wanted to make it for a long time.
I love how you explain so well for all to understand. Thank you ! Too bad we do not have these beautiful fabrics in Brazil.
Your tutorials are so inspiring Jenny! I always like the fabrics you use for the projects too. I suspect that is something that comes with experience. Thank you for sharing your time and talent so generously!
Im glad someone knows about the May Day baskets and flowers. Beautiful.
Pro tip: watch series at Flixzone. I've been using it for watching lots of of movies during the lockdown.
@Christopher Lukas yea, been watching on Flixzone for years myself :D
@Christopher Lukas yea, been watching on flixzone for years myself =)
I bought those rulers on a Daily Deal several months ago. Glad to see another great pattern with them!
Yayyy!!! I wanted to learn how to make this block/quilt...thank you, Jenny. You made this very easy and beginner friendly...as always! Thanks again!!!
Very sweet basket block! Love how it comes together!
You make everything look so easy!
Really cute ... love this vintage quilt pattern made easy ... thank you Jenny & team
Love this one Jenny! Thanks for making this pattern so easy to do!
That's really lovely, and such a clever method of construction. Thank you, Jenny and Team!

Looks like a great quilt for Mother's Day too.
Love love love this. Got to do it soon. Always wanted to do basket quilt. Your tutorial is so easy to follow. Thanks so much
Love this basket quilt. It's so pretty in that fabric. Thanks Jenny for a wonderful tutorial.
We still hang May baskets here every May 1st. Children often make them at school.
What a beautiful classic! Great tutorial again, thank you MSQC!
Yes! This is really something that can be done easily. But looks difficult with smashing results. Thanks
I’d be tempted to put these blocks on point.
Go for it! That would look lovely too. :)
I love this and it's so easy. I think I may make four , set them on point for a quick wall hanging. Could really do just one on point for a small one.
Thanks for sharing your pattern, love it❣️
Love this quilt and the fabric ! Thanks Jenny !💜💜💜
Wow! A super, duper easy flower basket quilt! Thank you so much, now I can make one!
Thank you for making this pattern look so easy to put together. Love your tutorials.
This is gorgeous
Muy lindos, gracias Jenny, voy hacer esta canasta maravillosa! . Desde Colombia te saluda Judith Araujo
I Love your tutorials! You know you can use the Clearly Perfect Slotted Trimmer to cut the 5 1/2 inch HST too!
Beautiful quilt tutorials from jenny Thank A loads jenny dear
That is very cute Jenny!
Love this block, thank you Jenny
Great tutorial and I love the easy instructions. I look forward to making it. In order to make it look more like a handle, I think in the second row, the middle block should be background fabric.
Anouther winner to add to the TO DO LIST !
This is really cute and easy. I think it would also be cute if there were multiple colors of flowers inside each basket.
That would make this quilt even more fun! Great idea, thanks for sharing!
That's adorable!! 💖💖💖💖
You must be a mind reader. I was trying to figure out how to make this block for 10". I just couldn't get my mind around it. Same goes for anything triangles, I get them turned around. Just watching your tutorials has help me a lot.
You make it so easy! Love this!

This is so cute. What a great gift idea for Mother's Day. Love it!
Love this , thank you Jenny
Great tutorial, Jenny! I was just wondering what to make with some jelly rolls I have laying around.
update: I ended up making 50 blocks from the burgundy/blush strips with five really light strips and enough to make another block left over. I had to order extra background fabric for the side setting triangles since I set the basket on point. It made a beautiful quilt!
I'd love to see a picture of it set on point. I bet it looks fabulous.
@@JOOLZUK wish I knew how to post it. I put a 1/2 flange of the basket material between the white and the border. Now to get it hand quilted. :>)
I loved🌹🌹🌹

Will look at your website and see if I can find something I like. I don't plan to make a big one, but will make a square quilt that will fit on my bedroom wall.
Looks terrific! Maybe the baskets could be set on point to make them stand up straight? I love this one!!!
I was going to say the same thing.
Thanks Jenny this was the easiest way I've seen to do that block. I started doing it a different way & I can;t seem to get the 'feet' of the basket to go the right way so I've just given up on doing it.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful, Could this be put on point so we do not have to turn my neck/ head to see it?
You certainly could turn this block on point!
Jenny i bought the slotted trim tool because u used it in another video, but why dont u use it to trim off the dog ears? Other wise u could have just used a strip tube ruler. I guess i have one of the inquiry mines and just wanted to know the reason. Thanks
Tina Denike I was thinking I could use my strip tube ruler, thanks!
I bought the slotted trimmers and almost immediately broke one. Since I don’t need another full set, I will try to use another strip tube ruler I have. This is a really cute pattern.

The ones trimmed with the slotted trimmer were slightly smaller. Knowing this, you can use the slotted trimmers by putting the stitching line on the trimmer slightly above your stitching line.
Kathy Terrell That would help but you’re still guessing, just like using a scant 1/4” seam.
I'd put the blocks on point, then the baskets would stand upright, and not tipped over like this.
I was thinking the same thing!!
Oh, that's a fun idea! We can't wait to see what your quilt looks like!
Do you sell those sewing machines? I love the speed and ease of use!!
Could I use 5 inch squares and sew around and cut on the corners to get 4 squares. I really don't want to buy another ruler?
Paula Olson yes I think you can! Try it!
Lots of different layouts for this quilt.
Is this happening to anyone else? I’m following the instructions exactly except using the quilt-in-a-day hst square up rulers. I never cut out a whole quilt until I’ve tried a few blocks. My squares are 3 inches and unfinished blocks are 10 ½ inches. I’m getting THREE blocks from each strip set (18 hst) .

el quilt es muy bonito, tendria que poner para poder traducir al castellano, un saludo
What machine is Jenny using here. I really like it. I wish the brand emblem was not covered up.
Spyder Quilt it’s a baby lock Jane and it is being remade as the Baby Lock Accomplish.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Can this be done with a layer cake?
How come you are not using the rulers to trim the dog ears??
Lupeta Mahoney I just forget and get in a hurry. It is so convenient..
It must have slipped Jenny's mind. Thank you for pointing out that those handle little tools do that though! :)
Can a background jelly roll be used in place of the yardage?
Yes for the small half square triangles you can!!

What sewing machine is Jenny using in this demonstration? Tfs
Lisa Hernandez it’s a Baby Lock Jane which is being remade as the Baby Lock Accomplish.
I was wondering, could this be made on point?
Is this pattern in one of your books
It's in BLOCK Volume 6 Issue 3, Eva. Hope this helps!
Can MSQC make a kit for this quilt with pattern?? Please

Rulers are $32!
The rulers are wonderful to help keep your blocks consistent when working with half square triangles, but they are not a necessity to create this quilt! :)
But so helpful to keep everything consistent and well pieced. They helped me so much it was worth it. But if you can do well without them, more power to you. And you have my admiration!
As nice as this pattern is, I'm tired of buying rulers, that you never use again.
With some care and attention, you can use your regular rulers. No need to buy specialty rulers for something like this.
Maria McPhail I totally agree!!
Agree with Maria! The slotted rulers are just another way to trim/make hst. Though I will say, I use the slotted rulers for all of my hst so they aren't a single use tool like some rulers are.

As long as you square your little half square triangles to 3" and your larger half square triangle block to 5.5" you will be golden! We sure hope this helps clarify! Happy sewing!
Very nice but I think it would be better placed on point.
