An Easter basket is a special basket used in Easter celebrations. Easter baskets are typically filled with Easter eggs, food, toys, or other gifts depending on one's culture and family traditions. In this video, Marie and Emmaline from Wisdom Preserved teach you how to make a quilted easter basket sewing tutorial.

I would like to share how to make these adorable quilted fabric Easter baskets. They are easy to sew, and fun to fill with Easter treats and goodies. Perfect for kids, teens, and yes, even adults. This is a basket you can use year-round in your sewing room, kitchen, or kid's room to store all kinds of things. It is very versatile, and BUNNY APPROVED!

Cutting Directions:
From basket coordinating fabric 2 1/2" wide strips cut a variety of: 2 1/2", 4", 6", and 8" long pieces.
from bottom fabric, cut: one (1) 17” (small) or 20" (large) square
from Pellon, cut: one (1) 17” (small) or 20" (large) square
For the tall handle keep 2 coordinating 2 1/2" wide fabric strips. For the braided handle choose 6 strips of the same length at 2 1/2" wide.

Let's begin by cutting the fabric jelly roll 2 1/2" strips. If each Jelly Roll strip is folded in half you should have a long enough length to cut the following:
2 - 8" pieces (2 1/2" x 8")
2 - 6" pieces (2 1/2" x 6")
2 - 4" pieces (2 1/2" x 4")
2 - 2 1/2" pieces (2 1/2" x 2 1/2")

I ended up using about 40 pieces for the small basket and 50 pieces for the large basket. I had 5 coordinating fabrics with multiple strips of each color so it was really easy to cut two strips of each color and then just set my scraps aside for another project. Essentially one strip of each fabric would have been enough, but I wanted to be able to move my pieces around so no two colors touched each other and I like having extra so this process is easier.

Don't forget to set aside 2 strips for your handle if you are making the long quilted fabric, or 6 strips if you are making the braided handle.

Once you have all of the fabric pieces cut it is time to sort them into their respective colors and sizes. I like to lay them out in front of me so that as I begin to lay out the pieces of my square I can easily see how many of each square I have available.

Now it's time to arrange our fabric pieces into our rows. For the smaller bag, I used 1 of each of the four sizes per row. Marie used 1 - 8", 1 - 6", and 2 - 4". This combination added that couple of extra inches needed for the larger basket.

Once you have your fabric strips arranged into approximately 10 rows it is time to sew them together.
