I adore this patchwork picnic basket quilt and I love the suggestion of using a vinyl tablecloth for the backing to keep it from getting stained on the back or wet from the ground. I am going to make some for my grandkids for the school functions that require them to bring blanket or towels. I love that it has a ribbon so it rolls up so it is easy to carry. Looks so easy to make and you can pick some fun fabrics. Great tutorial. Thanks.
