Well now, my quilt will really be authentic! lolo electricity went out 4 times yesterday because of storms, during the day, sizzors and cutter worked fine, but at night, working by oil lamp was a challenge, and our Farmer's Wives did it all the time.

Okay, I am the odd man out here...
I pieced my basket handle. I also changed the block a bit so that the handle is "on" a half square triangle. The other just looked too odd/off for me.
I will try to get some pics up when I get a chance.
Would you like me to do a tutorial on the way I use freezer paper to make templates for hand piecing??
Yes I did blocks 1 and 2. Did those by machine. <G>
Have fun,
Pati, in Phx

Just a note: See page 91 on main discussion page for the choices we have so far for naming the FAQ page. Let me know if you have any additional suggestions, today is the last day I will accept those.
