As I told her, I'll probably add leaves but not until after all eight of the basket blocks are done. <br /><br />I like to begin with some amount of order every day, too.

I'll probably add them after all 8 baskets are finished, though. I'm struggling to keep up with this sew-along, even though it's just one basket a month. I don't understand how I take so long to decide and stitch!Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572317733773180899.post-64919043434581076892017-07-17T21:20:01.226-04:002017-07-17T21:20:01.226-04:00Thanks, Janet.

I love the colors but I'm not sure they go with the colors in the other blocks. I'll have to look at the blocks together for a while and see.<br /><br />I've seen your applique and I think you do a fine job of it.

I'm learning to notice them but leave them. When they get too bad I have to talk myself into leaving them or make changes. I think these will stay.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to seeing your coral and brown quilt, whatever you decide to do. It's interesting to know one wants to use several colors and/or fabrics together but not know what block to use them in. It always takes me a while to figure that out.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572317733773180899.post-78593423050572928572017-07-17T20:47:06.519-04:002017-07-17T20:47:06.519-04:00Thank you, Robin!

But, Cheri drew these so that one side was higher than the other so at least I didn't have to worry about that!Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572317733773180899.post-24506047440578961722017-07-17T20:45:43.300-04:002017-07-17T20:45:43.300-04:00Thanks, Rebecca.

It happens, though, that I don't have them on hand when a difficult bit of applique comes along.

Those three hearts are perfect where they are, imo. And I agree with Jennie, if you have the time and energy a few leaves would be nice. <br />Read your messy versus tidy post and I'm somewhere in the middle. My room is messy when I'm working but I usually tidy it at the end of the day if I have time. I prefer stepping back into an orderly space.

Funny you talked about the pink/coral/brown color scheme. I have been setting aside fabrics for just such a quilt. No idea yet what the design will be. I like how you make use of shirts--and use whichever side works best.JanineMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13475847392355523001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572317733773180899.post-80825786876660155942017-07-14T15:13:05.687-04:002017-07-14T15:13:05.687-04:00It turned out terrific.
