CarleneR,
I love, love, love the way your patriotic looking basket quilt turned out. I really hope that Alex takes notice and show it on her next lesson. You and Alex think alike in a lot of
ways, but different in others. I really like the way you put the pinwheels in the corners of the border and both used the rectangle pieced border. Your quilt seems a little more symmetrical with balance, but you used all
the ideas that Alex also thought of but before she did them in her classes. Great minds think alike!!! Alex seems to like the unplanned look but gut instinct that tells her, I like this.
I do like your narrow, narrow border between the blocks and the outside border. Back when Alex did the Kaffe Mystery classes, she mentioned that she does not show all
the forum photos, she goes on before her class starts and just pulls some. She does not read the posts attached a lot of the time, since she makes comments that she would
not have made if she had read the posts. She is wonderfully kind and incredibly generous with her knowledge and time. If you want to get your quilt picture noticed post
a copy of it in the Basket Puzzle Learn with Alex area of the forum about 3 hours before the upcoming class starts. Those are the ones she usually pulls out to show. Beautiful job on your quilt.

Hi Alex,
I am loving your show. This is the first quilt I have done with you. It has been a challenge as I don't like to design on my own. I have difficulty matching up colors and patterns. However, after a little organizing, I couldn't work with the baskets going every direction, I am really liking how it is turning out. After I fill in the corners with 8 inch blocks, I am going to set 6 inch blocks to finish the sides so I can complete the sides.
Thanks for all the tips and encouragement.
Tricia V

UMTERP76 OFFLINE Posts: 44 Thank you received: 12	Thank you for clarifying the printing of the letters. I thought there might be a new way to do it and save time. I do the same thing designing letters on the computer and tracing onto steam a seam. Always looking for new ideas and ways to do things! Thank you!

djah55,
I think your layout looks great. The way I sometimes play with layouts is to take a screenshot, print it, cut it apart and then you can rearrange to your hearts content
without messing with your design wall. You can make more than one copy if you want to play with more half square triangles, pinwheels or just strips of fabric color
that you might use to fill in open spaces. It is fun. I laid it out in another way just to see what I would do. HelenW
