Yes, those Hst are pretty little. Will have to experiment a bit, I think.

Thanks for posting the link, I did not receive the notification from Quilt Maker either.

I'm working on my "basket" blocks...have 7 done so far. I ended up with 42 "bow tie" blocks. I'm hoping that I don't run out of these scraps 'cause I have no idea where I bought the original fabric. The extra "bow tie" blocks will be made into a doll quilt for Malina. [ATTACH=CONFIG]508863[/ATTACH]

Wow what a fun project! I'm following y'all and maybe I'll find time to join!

Jennie&Me: You're so fast! How was it making the small hst? Did you make them bigger and cut down, or as described in the directions? They look great!

Mirabelle: Looking great! Love the little maverick going her own way!

Hope to get to mine over the weekend.

Looks like a Thangles project to me. Makes them so much more exact for littles than I can make! I have really gotten in to minis--must be the "new" thing as I'm seeing many designers offering mini patterns.

QltrSue, the HST's were not so bad. I'm a pinner, even on something as small as these. And I press after each step. I am really getting into this little stuff! I did not trim them up, just followed directions. They aren't perfect, but by the time you get them all put together into a quilt, no one will ever know the difference. Just have fun! I still have a few more basket blocks to do.

jennie&me, love your basket blocks. Haven't started mine yet but hope to get the baskets done this weekend and also make 16 more bowties. Great project.

O.K., so I was really proud of myself...I was done with the twelve basket blocks that I'm making. Hmm, why do these last two blocks look funny? Well, crud, I had put them together wrong. I made myself rip them out since I'm afraid that I'll run short on fabric. Now I just have to put them back together..the correct way. Sometimes I am so anal!
