I've been busy selecting and executing a setting for six-inch basket swap blocks that arrived on Monday. I received 6 straight baskets and 11 on point, so the first challenge was to find a setting to use them together and have everything facing the correct way.
First I put the straight-ons into the center of square-in-a-square blocks. Then to bring the on-points up to size, I bordered them. I also made an extra basket to fill in the setting. I now have 9" finished size blocks.
The setting triangles include the inner border. Here's a close up.
The blocks are laid out on a twin sized bed in these pics. Hopefully they will be assembled into a flimsy by the end of the day. Then to select an outer border, from stash if possible.
