MONTH 5 — Ask Questions Here

[Barbara B.]

Please use this TOPIC to ask questions about the Basket Blocks.

[kelly u.]

can we make our squares bigger to be able to sqare up our half swayre triangles?
will we have enough fabiric in our kits?

[Barbara B.]

How much bigger? My blog that comes out tomorrow shows I cut the HST squares 1/8” larger as I always do. That tiny bit should not impact the Kit fabrics.

[Lynn W.]

Dear Kelly,
I agree with Barbara's answer. If your HST tend to run too small, stitch on the 'inside' of the marked lines as I show in my video. You will not have to trim off much at all. --Lynn

I don't know, why I have to cut 3 strips of 8 inch WOF for fabrics C and F. I think it is easier to cut one strip of 4 inch WOF and make 2 at a time HST. This safes a lot of fabric, with 40 inch WOF I get 20 HST. Or am I so totally wrong?

[Barbara B.]

It is 3 SQUARES 8” of the two fabrics for the basket centers. Lynn prefers to make 8 HST at a time so that is how she wrote her instructions.
As I noted in my Blog, this will make 24 centers and we only need 20 so that does leave 4 leftovers.
Make yours however you prefer to make them.
