My apologies to Karen Comstock and those readers who wrote to let me know that I was missing something. This basket should be placed on a white or cream background (your choice) that is 8 1/2 inches raw, 8″ finished on point.

I didn’t give you specific fabric requirements for the blocks because we want to give you the chance to use your stash to make the blocks you want to use. I thought that a cohesive color scheme - brown baskets and white/cream backgrounds would tie the individual blocks together; that was what I gave to the designers to work with. All of the baskets will be finished to 8″ on point. I’ll work on the sashing and binding measurements and get those out to you soon - that’s hopefully the only significant yardage that’s required for the quilt.  If you don’t have something in your stash that you can use for your block - call a quilt friend (or two) and see if you can arrange a fabric exchange.

Please let me know if there is something else I’ve forgotten; apparently, I’m a bit rusty.   If you have any other questions, either leave a comment or email me at BOM@cottonspice.com. It’s good to be back!

Linda
