Fruit BasketFromthecollectionofSandraL.Hatch

Fabric baskets are favorites among quilters, as evidenced by the variety of

basket patterns created in the 1930s. The Fruit Basket design is known

by several other names, the most common being the Cake Stand.

The amount of quilting on this basket quilt shows that the person

who made this treasured heirloom loved to quilt.
