Alex Anderson's Postage Stamp Basket block

Isn't this Postage Stamp Basket a cool pattern? The finished basket block is 4.5 inches square.

Several years ago I watched Alex Anderson demonstrate this block on Simply Quilts. I loved the block and years ago I made a small quilt using her pattern.

Yesterday I wanted to see how this plaid fabric would look as a basket. Wouldn't it be cool to have a Plaid Basket Quilt? Blue plaids! Red plaids! Black and green plaids!

You can find the instructions by Alex at this site (you may have to copy and paste).
