When I was growing up we had hand made Easter baskets. Each of us had a different gingham color. Mine happened to be orange.

Me at age 2 or 3 with my Easter basketFor my sons first Easter I wanted to have some Easter baskets like the ones I grew up with. So my mom made my son and I baskets (This was before I got into sewing).
So here is mine: (Pink and blue)
The nice thing about these is they fold flat for storage. You just untie the corner ribbons and it falls flat. 
Here it is all tied up without grass in it
Here is my sons: (Green and blue) 
I love that my mom was willing to make these for us. She also doesn't just use the baskets for Easter. She has made some similar to put bread in to give to neighbors at the holidays. I love them!

Darling baskets! Thanks for linking to Quiltstory!
Do you think you can talk mom into giving me the pattern so I can make some for my kiddos? I have wanted to do these for them just like we had growing up.
