LOL I never would have even attempted this without this group. Thanks to all for your responses to my questions and the support and gentle guidance you offer.
Here's my blocks
Since there aren't any deadlines....hold off on the basket until later when you are feeling more confident. You can always substitute another block (even if it is out of sequence)...this is not a race or a contest...it is a learning experience for all of us. I have never appliqued anything so I can relate to the "basket anxiety"....but there are many more experienced quilters on this project to share the knowledge and support that we need.
Your blocks are lovely.
