Thank you. It's actually the basket, I'm afraid there isn't enough contrast. I have another block, it think it's the Bat Wing? That also has little to no contrast. We'll see when it all comes to an end. I think all the blocks that everyone are doing look wonderful. This is a good place. I'm loving it!

Almost forgot to post pix. Accidentally took my basket base all the way out to the edge. I made dozens of regular baskets last year and I think that's messing with my auto pilot. Still need to tuck the handle into the seam.

Messed with the fourth block. Not a fan of regular or altered. Maybe I'll use a modified propeller block instead.

I square up en masse later. Can only square blocks while standing and can't always stand.

If you read the forum on all the rules for this sampler, you'll see that we can't share patterns with ohers because of copyright laws. We each must have our own copy of the book. Muriel & Patrice have been great about explaining everything. There are places to go and get help after we have the book though...good luck!

Did I get this right Muriel and Patrice?

Yes, we do want to honor Laurie's time and research that she has put into this book. You can purchase the book for about 16.oo at Joann's with a coupon. Others have ordered it from
Amazon.com and Connecting Threads is another good source.
If you have one of the EQ programs and prefer, there is a companion c.d. that will work with E.Q.
Once you have obtained one of the commercial copies,there are additional resourses available free of charge.
I hope this helps.

Linda I really like your blocks. I wish I would have gone with more of a color scheme; this srappy stuff is killing me. I love the blues you chose-great job.
