Shown here are 2 pairs of the mini background blocks, which
will become your basket's side panels. Take two pairs and
flip them so the patterns are checkered.
Gather your 8 mini background blocks (4 of both AP-BQB13
and AP-BQB14, not pictured) and begin to join them in pairs
featuring one of each design pattern. Join the pairs the same
manner you use for step B.

Pin the pairs together along the edge to be sewn.

You will now attach the 4-block panels to one end of the
bottom of your basket. Line the first panel up as shown, then
fold it to lay face down over the middle panel, sewing them
together along the dashed line shown, then press the seams.
Lay the top pair of blocks face side down over the bottom
pair, lining them up at their tacking stitch lines.
Straight stitch the rows together using the same method as
step B. Once you have a square of 4 blocks, repeat with the
other 4 so you have 2 ends.
