This quilt block is a corner block. it has a dark green patch of grass in the bottom left corner. On that patch of grass is a basket. The basket is a brown fabric with a lot of pen marks on it in a hatched design to make it look like a weaved basket. Inside the basket are several vegetables. There are carrots, cucumbers, lettuce, and a red pepper each with corresponding colored fabric. Coming out from the center of the basket is a stick that's holding up a detailed sign that has written in black, "Harvest Sale."

I am writing this on Thanksgiving Day.

I thought, what could be more appropriate than a big harvest basket. So imagine this basket full of all your favorite fresh veggies.

Then add in all the people you love and are thankful for.

I’m sure it will be a very full basket indeed.
