I rolled the seam underneath and then hand stitched it to my basket. No fussing with folding edges under. I opened the seams just below the ends and tucked them into the back of the block then restitched the seam. It looks really nice and was quite easy to do.<br />Linda in CTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4655771233639274287.post-41665638549112210222012-03-16T18:10:26.165-07:002012-03-16T18:10:26.165-07:00Don't worry about that basket block.

Then I started looking for Sewing Circle and found 6 other blocks that were those same pieces in different arrangements and different amounts of colors in the blocks but the same size pieces. It is interesting.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18318070408396915015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4655771233639274287.post-38777774745659782702012-03-14T17:46:35.203-07:002012-03-14T17:46:35.203-07:00I am going to get busy on these tonight, in spite ...I am going to get busy on these tonight, in spite of everything I should be doing!<br />Have a safe journey taking care of your Mom.Janet O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05083607398709252597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4655771233639274287.post-18114730862331221572012-03-14T15:23:17.173-07:002012-03-14T15:23:17.173-07:00In different colouring, they are FW blocks (I look...In different colouring, they are FW blocks (I looked through my book).

First block I used it for was the Broken Dishes block and it came together so quickly. I am looking forward to the "linky" button to see what colours and themes others are choosing to do.

(grin) Thanks for the bonus blocks. I can't believe how much I am enjoying this, now that someone is telling me how to put the blocks together.LOL Before, I was kind of lost. Also thanks for the idea of using ric rac for the basket handle. I was just going to leave it without a handle. Not of fan of paper piecing. Now at least I have an option. Have a good one.Winonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04290337861068849475noreply@blogger.com
