Here is a look at my log cabin basket with its appliqué handle. I haven’t connected the three log cabin blocks that form the basket, but you still get a pretty good sense of how it will look.

The next task is to appliqué the flower stems and leaves.

The directions said to use 5/8″ bias strips for the stems. It had been a while since I had made bias stems, so I had to look up how to do them, but it went quickly. I got to use one of the pressing bars from a set given to me by one of the Quilting Ladies for the first time. It worked very well!
