Bootsy - Here's one for you. another "housewife" block. I'm not entirely happy with it so I may try to make another type of block in a different colorway. Hope you can use it.

Thanks bootsy.
JLT37869 - This Flower Basket is my second block for you. Your fabric and directions just called out for this pattern. I love this block, but it doesn't love me. This pattern fights me all the way. I hope you enjoy it. Maybe you can use the white space under the basket as part of a label or embroider the year or something. [ATTACH=CONFIG]567574[/ATTACH] |

Jinny Beyer may be a good site for ideas, but be very careful to verify the scale/test square when printing off the designs for paper pieced. Actually, all things I've printed from the web have been a little off. Her site is the one that throws me the most, though.
It's the McCall's site that gives me the most trouble. I just don't like their construction methods, such as cutting weird size squares so you can slice them once or twice diagonally to get the pieces you need. I'd rather know the dimensions of the finished pieces and use a triangle ruler to get them. It's much more accurate. So I make my own construction techniques of their blocks. Usually working backwards from a picture is the best method for me. |
The current block I am working on I am working backwards from a picture, plus adding fussy cutting sections into previously whole pieces, w/ odd shapes and sizes. It is giving me a headache but in the words of Mr. Tim Gunn, I am making it work! lol

Still need to figure out what I'm doing with your Capricorn fabric ,,, decisions, decisions. |
