The Fruit Basket Quilt is a vintage pattern by Ruby McKim/ McKim Studios. It was originally published newspapers across America such as the  World Herald, Omaha, Nebraska in 1933. As designed, you will construct 32 pieced baskets and 32 colorful appliquéd fruit tops.  You will receive a separate scan for each pattern, a quilting design page, plus a page for assembling the baskets. 

The fruits are: Malaga Grapes, Lime, Kumquat, Queen Anne Cherries, Blueberries, Currants, Blackberries, Red Cherries, Tangerine, Gooseberries, Strawberries, Lemon, Pineapple, Bananas, Red Raspberries, Pears, Figs, Loganberries, Quince, Delicious Apple, Avocado, Concord Grapes, Persimmon, Pomegranate, Prune Plum, Crab Apple, Oranges, Red Plum, Apricot, Yellow Apple, Grapefruit, Peach.

When set together as illustrated, the blocks will make a top about 66 x 83 inches. The borders can be altered to reach your desired size.

Use those 1930's reproduction prints and vintage flour sack scraps and create a beautiful family heirloom!
