    I got interested in weaving some quilt strips and decided to make a basket of flowers. The blue border is 2 1/2 ". Can someone please advise how to make the corners nice and neat? There is batting under the flower patches & iron-on under the basket. Thanks!Dotty

    I would think that since you have put so much work into the center block that you should do mitered corners, they always look nice.

    That is so pretty. I have never made one like that so I have no answers.

    I think I would cut around the top to round it, bind it in brown around the basket changing to sky blue on the top half, leave the blue border off, attach a round brown weaved handle and hang it in a window to enjoy every day. It's cute! (I've never weaved anything like this though, so it may not even work - but my creative juices just took off.)
