                  Looking online for baskets I like the looks of. Drafting them in EQ8 for the practice and this a table runner idea. Having fun.
                  They are 10 inch squares and I found them on a website called Piecemeal Quilts. They were part of baskets of the month.

                    Just getting started (had to finish my fall table topper so I could swap out the black thread for cream). Two blocks done!! Gonna make all with blue baskets and whatever I feel like up top.

                      A little late to start, but had to finish the fall table topper so I could swap out my black thread for cream. Got my first two blocks done. Thinking of using blue for the baskets and whatever hits me for the top.

                            I have made these three blocks. My first came out a bit smaller than 6-1/2 inches unfinished using the mat. I decided on my second block to use my 1/4 inch that I had perfected. Came out closer to the desired size. The third block that I made tonight came out really well. Had so much fun and was relaxed. It will take me some practice to use the mat although I did move it on my machine so it would be more "true" to my 1/4 inch. I think it will be fabulous as I use it more. I love the tips that Alex gave us on Basket G: her pinning of seams and being able to peek under; taking the needle out at the last minute in front of the presser foot was fabulous! Also opening seams with 6 or more layers of fabric. Worked absolutely great!

                            Sorry but I cannot get my JPG picture to insert. Not sure why! Late. Will try tomorrow.
