But I sure am glad you had put this here, and that I did the checkbook cover when you did. Thanks Rhonda.

I want to see it when you get it done!

Sure will. I just hope the cat leaves all these little pieces alone cause I'm ready for bed.

When I want to leave something laid out but don't want anything to happen to it I lay out my pattern on a sheet of copy paper and then lay another on top and staple around the edges. It will make a packet that can't lose your pieces. I started this because of my GDs. Now I can lay them aside and they won't get out of place.

Thanks, Rhonda. I love minis and have never made bear pays. It's on the list of inspirations now.

I, too, have made lots of hst's with the bias edges with no trouble, but I do use quite a bit of starch before I cut.

I don't do large quilts so I have never had a problem with bias. But when I experimented with a 4" Boston Block I still didn't have a problem and I didnt' use any sizing. I guess I just never pay any attention to it.

Ok, here it is. A couple claws a tiny bit off. I had the blue fabrics, and I had just gotten this little weave fabric, it wasn't for this, but I thought it would look really cute as the basket fabric. Now I have one more quilt I have to put sashing on.....then I have to quilt all that I've done. About 12 things to quilt. I'm a glutten for punishment. But I love it.

The basket squares are 4 1/2" x 4 1/2", total is 14"X14". I got the design from the internet, made it smaller and used Rhonda's cut down method for the Bear Paws.

That is really cute Katie! I love the look of it. That basket weave is just right for the baskets.
