Christmas QAL August - Post 2 - Projects

I love the fabric baskets that I've seen online and wanted to make a few to help keep things organized.  This link is the one I followed:  http://www.aspoonfulofsugardesigns.com/2013/03/gathered-round-basket-3-sizes.html  Don't you love the colors they used?  My first basket has a Christmas theme.
Yes, those are soap slivers in the basket; I use them to mark because I know it won't hurt the fabric. 
These are reversible.
The only question I had was the instructions call for wadding, which I thought was what we call batting in the United States.  I used fusible interfacing because I thought it would work.  So British friends, do you think they mean wadding as in batting or is it interfacing?  I'm wondering which is preferable.  I want to make a few more.
 
Now, this is the link to the project I originally wanted to share with you.
Katrina's ornaments look pretty and are easy to make.  If I used a smaller print fabric it might work better.
I think the little one makes a cute decoration for my bowl.  You could play with it a bit, add some bling and have a nice coat pin.  Don't know about you but I love to put a Christmas pin on my coat or jacket.
 
Am I delaying my Challenge project?  Yes, because I'm still wondering about it.  I actually lost the bow block I made in June.  It's in the house somewhere but I can't find it.  Maybe Moxie took it.
