I gave up trying to set the blocks on point. Now I’ve got the outer blocks rotated. marching around the center. This I can live with. I made the math more complicated using the dashing, but I’m figuring it out. Got to make some more baskets to fill in the corners. I may take out the light block on lower right.
I’m previewing the fabrics on the right for inner border. Any suggestions? Should I go with a different solid than used in the dashing?

Finally finished piecing my Baskets & Flowers quilt. New to quilting and this was a challenge. Made lots of mistakes that I learned from. First, I added two 9 inch baskets which threw the interior placement off which I tried correcting with fabric pieces rather than more baskets. Second, I didn't calculate the border using math and just chose the half square triangle size that I like...well, there was a shortage in the border that I had to fix with piecing. The four corners were a consequence of the math avoidance. It wasn't really planned to be that way. Anyway, I put a flange interior on it (which I like!) . Overall, I have learned some valuable lessons about planning. But I am happy with it. Once I put the flange and the border I began to like this little quilt. I thread sketched the flowers; they will be re-outlined once it has been sandwiched. The fabric for the flange will also be used for the binding.

janstitcher OFFLINE Posts: 18 Thank you received: 75	I have been sewing baskets almost in my sleep to try to catch up. I now have them all done, they need to be joined together and then some applique done then I will start to think about the border. Loving these classes Alex, who would have thunk I would love making all those small HST's?

SueGee OFFLINE Posts: 27 Thank you received: 110	Karonray, Love the houses in the right corner. I tend to agree with you about the flowered fabric. IF however, it were a larger scale print, it might work. Just a thought.
