CarrieG OFFLINE Posts: 144 Thank you received: 83	These are all great, every single one! I haven't made any more baskets in a couple weeks. Working on a couple early Christmas gifts. Maybe this weekend I will get back to working on them. You all are inspirational!

I'd like to try putting in a flange before I add a border. I just want to add a bit more of the gold color from the basket handles - what is the recommended finished width of a flange?
Thanks,
Laurel

Sound like a great idea to add a pop of color. I think the width is personal preference. I took a couple screen shots of videos you can type in your search bar to watch how to
calculate. I would audition a couple different sizes to see which looks most pleasing to you. I have used 1/4 inch on wall hangings and 1/2 inch on lap quilts.
If you want 1/4 inch showing you would need the 1/4 inch plus a 1/4 inch seam allowance and then multiply by 2 so it will have a fold. So you would cut the strip 1 inch wide.
For a half inch you add the seam allowance, 1/4 and that gives you 3/4 inch , then multiply by 2, so you cut it 1 an 1/2 inches. Hope this helps. Please post a picture
I would love to see how it turns out. HelenW
PS You could also do a flange binding to give a 1/8 pop of color at the edge. Watch the Jordon Fabrics video to see the process for that.

hapi2so OFFLINE Posts: 24 Thank you received: 158	This quilt is finished and it was great fun. Thanks Alex. I learned a lot about different sizes putting them together. I think the most difficult for me was not losing points with different size blocks.

inkypaws OFFLINE Posts: 7 Thank you received: 56	What a fun quilt to make - I love symmetry so adjusted mine accordingly. Especially loved the baskets with handles including the 4 inch block. Many thanks for a great class.

triciav715 OFFLINE Posts: 3 Thank you received: 28	Finished my top. Had to change from on point, couldn’t figure the math and this worked. I do love it. I’m thinking of adding a final border with some floating flying geese. I love your style of teaching and really look forward to next classes. Thanks so much for all the cool tips and tools. ]
