Time to start thinking about spring and making some Easter baskets!
Today, Chris and Annette want to share with you adorable pop-up baskets they made while they were at a quilt retreat. These baskets are a fun, easy project which can be used as an Easter basket or as a home décor basket.
The fabric possibilities for these baskets are endless. Annette made an Easter version by using Easter fabric. Chris wanted a basket to display anytime; so she choose a stunning floral fabric.
The pattern is by Fat Quarter Gypsy. At the end of the article are links to the Pop-Up Basket pattern, pop-up refills, and other interesting pop-up projects.![Two Finished Baskets]()

The basket folds away for easy storage by collapsing the spring and tying the handle ends together.
Craft-Tex is used in the handles to give them stiffness. After storage, just press the handles flat with a hot iron and they will stand up again!![Floral Basket]()
