I just finished up a Divided Basket using Color Me Retro. The Divided Basket Pattern is by Anna of Noodlehead and is available for purchase here. Anna writes wonderful patterns and this one is no exception. The directions are thorough and easy to follow. Putting in the divider will make you feel quite clever, even though Anna is the one who figured it all out.
Color Me Retro is the debut fabric line by Jeni Baker for Art Gallery Fabrics. It's fun and fresh and I think that this basket is a great way to showcase the larger scale Florette print.
I inadvertently discovered that the divided basket holds two stacks of fat quarters perfectly. Now I want to keep the basket for that purpose! But, this basket will be heading to a friend who is about to have a baby. I plan to fill one side with diapers and the others with burp cloths, etc. I hope she likes it!
If you are looking for Color Me Retro, Fresh Squeezed Fabrics should have some in next week! Fat quarter bundles are available now at the Fat Quarter Shop.

ReplyDeleteYou totally read my mind! I'm totally planning one of these from Color Me Retro too! Love, love yours! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful basket - makes me contemplate making something 3D instead of flat designs.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute!!! I have Anna's basket on my list of things I want to make ASAP. She's so genius. It's fun to see Jeni's new fabrics in use too :)
ReplyDeleteGreat basket and yummy gabrics!
ReplyDeletePretty, love the bright colours :o)
ReplyDeleteI love this. I bought the pattern the other day, but I haven't made it yet. You did a super job!
ReplyDeleteI've made several of these baskets before. They are a quick project. The pattern I used also had the handles (which I left off) but did not have a divider. What a clever idea, though. These can be used in any room in the home. debbie
ReplyDeleteOh I love it! I'm really tempted to make a few of these and see if it might help with our permanent toy explosion...

ReplyDeleteI really like Jeni's designs in her fabric and it's wonderful to see them incorporated into wonderful handmade lovelies. Thanks for sharing.
