We're close to being done with our sweet Garden Basket quilt.
This is the first design I played with trying to keep the quilt tiny. It's not bad at all, and borders can be added, but it just wasn't what I envisioned. My designer instincts were telling me to go another way. So, I added the scrappy border which I do love. I used ...

We will sew our (4) corner triangles to the center block next. When sewing a triangle to a square (our center block), the triangle must be positioned at the true center of ...
