mrsreyes OFFLINE Posts: 16 Thank you received: 120	When Alex mentioned we could set the baskets in a medallion setting, I decided to try it. This is the result. It has needle turned appliqué on the star points , and raw edge appliqué on the baskets. It’s not perfect, but will be my perfect November wall hanging. I’m thinking about doing an appliqué of the words “GIVE THANKS”, but I’m not sure. What do you think? -Kami

DianeRoss OFFLINE Posts: 51 Thank you received: 212	hapi2so - I had a similar issue with a basket sampler quilt I made a few years ago. I solved it by adding coping strips to the blocks, in fabric that matched the backing for each block. After quilting, it blended in and wasn't obvious. Another option. Love your colors, great setting.

Hapi2so, So you have not sewn the sashing strips on yet. Did you measure each of the blocks to see how much you are off from being square. Sometimes you can adjust the length or width of the sashing strips so it is not noticeable, but will help to make it square. Could you post the measurements. Might be able to come up with some ideas.
Love the colors. Love the blocks . And love the layout. HelenW

hapi2so OFFLINE Posts: 24 Thank you received: 158	Worked all weekend. It is just layed out. Not sewn together yet. It does not want to be square. I tried turning blocks. I could make corners to square it but then it would be huge.
