Easter Basket

I've got a Friday finish to share with you today.  Each year I buy those plastic baskets for Easter and I finally got tired of buying them and thought it would be more fun to have a permanent basket.  So...I made this fun Easter basket for my son this week.  Only problem is that I have 3 other kids:(  I will probably have time to make one more but the other two will have to wait until next year.  I used a tutorial from The Sewing Loft and she has a free pattern download on Craftsy.  I love that this pattern uses up fabric scraps too.  These baskets are big!!  I was thinking the kids could use them throughout the year, maybe on their nightstands to put things in??
