FUI and future use if you scan to the top of the page you will see where it says, home, chat ets. there is one that says user list, click there, then type in the persons board name that you want to contact, it will take you their profile and you can p.m. them from there. Another way is if click on the persons name above their avatar it will also take you to their profile.
You can find a free pattern online just type in "KoolKatz" and there is a free pfd download.

I have to make it completely over as my bottom half of my basket was at least 1/4 inch over on each side which meant I totally lost the points ofcourse when trimming it down.
I will try again.

Does anyone else glue their applique edges? My grandmother would not approve but it makes my life easier. :0D

I just added a .pdf version of Stefanib's chart showing the total number of times each template is used and the blocks in which they are used.
It's attached to the announcement topic.

Thanks again, Stefanib! :thumbup:

I'm just thinking out loud. Last night as I was sewing and checking the block--I wished I had made a plastic template of some of the paper ones. I would make a hole somewhere on the template and string a bunch of them up numerically so I could just flip thru them to find the one I need for reference. Better yet--make a large triangle and then draw smaller ones on it in the sizes you want. mark the dimensions on the seam allowance. You would then just lay it on the block to see if it needs adjusting. This could be done on all the shapes. what do you think? Should I waste my time and plastic?

Some like 1, 3, 4, 7 etc. you will use 100 times or more! Some you will only use once.
