A Tisket, A Tasket, an Owl Covered Basket

I had to water my mom's plants last week while she was out of town and noticed a few new baskets in her sewing room.  

Two in particular, really caught my eye; one made with my favorite Michael Miller fabric, the other (with the addition of a handle) looks to be the scraps of a dress my mom recently made for my owl adoring niece.

 My nieces' 4T owl dress & the detail from the bottom of the owl basket.  Aren't they darling?

You can see how wrapping strips of the fabric creates an entirely different and unique visual: 

I'm gonna have to buy this one from my mom.
