I have nearly all blocks on my webshots, but my scanner broke and I have to use the now. I'll try to post a few this week, ok? This is a lovely quilt. I saw one completed years ago when I was on a retreat in Portland Oregon, and knew I needed to make this.....no skills in that area, but slowly I got them, then read about back basting. That makes it so much easier. A little harder because I had to trace the block onto the back side of the black block. But it works rather well, and I'm happy with the results.
I just ordered the CD and I'm hoping it has enough direction to get me through it. (Do not have the book) But, what is 'BACK BASTING'? I'm planning on doing a black background also.
