Sophie's Basket Blocks

I wanted to try a few different methods for the handles so you could see how they looked. I used different thread, different machine stitches, etc. I took individual photos so you could get a closer look.

Click for larger images; the descriptions on Flickr also include the thread and stitch used for each handle.
