    I made the first block this evening to see how it was going to come together. My first mistake was to not use the Marti Michell corner cutting template for the points. The two small triangles didn't line up so I took it apart, cut the corners with the template, and did it again. Much better and easier to line them up.

    My oldest daughter picked out this fabic, it's called Pepper Metro Market. It's cute. All of the blocks will have the white and cherry background and the baskets will be mixes of the black and reds and yellows.

    Wow! your points look so good! What is that gadget you mentioned? Maybe that's why I can't do points very well. Your block looks great.
