Karen, I think you could make the balloon out of a log cabin block. I am attaching a picture of one I've been playing with in EQ7 and I think it could be done. You would just have to put a triangle on each corner of the sky fabric after you complete the log cabin section of the block before you add the rest of the sky and then embroider the ropes or whatever between the balloon and basket.
Judy--What side strips did the EQ tell you to cut for the log cabin balloon?
