Easter Basket Reviewed by Karen Duff on 2010-03-31
I made the handle 3 rows instead of 2. I also added a DC in between the HDC's on the flower petals. I think by making the handle separately and sewing it on, it gets more support because my handle stands up fine. Attaching the handle right in the middle was hardest part for me.
