So, with a little playing I can up with the color/pattern combination that worked for me.....

I feel the same way. I will adapt as you did. Thanks for the plan!

Here are my blocks 3 & 4. When appliquing the handle down, I unpicked the seams and slipped the ends down in and then restitched my seams.

Here's my 3 & 4. That handle was not fun. No wonder I've been putting off finishing it. I ended up using a pencil and tracing over the machine applique template onto my block then hand stitching it down. Is that how you're supposed to do it? I've never done applique before and now I know why. Thank goodness there's only one more handle on this quilt!

suzanne, I love your basket block with the daisies and your handle looks fine to me. Remember we are all learning as we go I'm sure there will be challenges and new things for all of us from time to time. Good job.
