From the left upper corner, page 74,

of the book, "A Gallery of Amish Quilts" . . .


comes yet another basket block idea. This one uses 10 HST's per block.


I began by sheeting up a 16" x 19" piece of blue and red. Then drew out a grid of 2-3/4" squares. (If you're not familiar with the technique to speed sew HST's, please e-mail me directly.)


This is my test block and I'm still working out the kinks, but I'll share all of the measurements next time.


Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

I have always liked this basket block. Solid colors work very, very well in this block don't they?

Nice basket block. I love basket blocks. Did Dolly return with a trophy from her Tarzan foray?
