random question..

[kimmercake.livejournal.com]

ok im making these baskets for my family for christmas.
i bought all sorts of cute things to go in them and decorate them with.

i also bought all this fabric to make liners for the baskets.
i did some templating on my sewing machine this morning and i didnt like the way a square liner looked because the corners stuck out too much. to then i made octagonal shaped liner, and that looked dumb too because the sides sloped in too much and didnt show at all...

so my question is...anyone have any ideas about shapes?
or just ways i can get the liners to be more even and show out of the top of the baskets?

thanks so much!
