I worked all day Friday in my sewing room.  I chose some fabrics for the next block and ended up pressing the fabric and refolding it.  I wanted to fold over a piece of cardboard so that I got an even fold..(trying to keep the sewing room somewhat neat).  I had a piece of cardboard but it was too short, so I took some file folders and wrapped them around the cardboard and kept it in place with elastics.  So I was able to refold some lengths of fabric all nice and neat.
Then I worked on this block.  Grape basket...I still had "fruit basket" in my mind and the problems I had with that...but everything went fine.

There isn't another basket block in the farmer's wife sampler quilt, so I am okay.
