This is the perfect little basket for your desk......and a great way to use up a fat quarter. The pattern Sometimes Crafter uses makes this look so easy! I really want to give this a try, once I get caught up on my mini-quilts.

When the crafting bug first hit last year, I bought a ton of fat quarters and even making a dozen of those coffee cup cozy things, I still have soooo many of them left. I sometimes despair of ever using them all! Unlike the majority of other crafters, I don't want a large fabric stash, so while I still find myself drawn to the fat quarters on Etsy...I resist!

Now, yarn is the new fat quarter. :D
