My sister's birthday is 2 days before mine, so we always get together about a week after for dinner and cake. I managed to finish this basket I was making for her and gave it to her yesterday.
It's a square-based basket, which is so much slower than a round or oval one because the square bottom must be pieced at the corners, and building up the sides is a little more picky at the corners. This is the second square one I've made. The top edge is a little wavy, which annoyed me a little, but oh well. I don't know how to prevent that happening.

I also took a couple pictures of the pink basket I finished a couple weeks ago. I made it to store my cookie cutters, pastry bag, and other odd baking supplies in.
It's just a basic round basket with the top 2 rows made into attached handles.
The technique for all of these came from the book It's A Wrap.
