If I do it I will choose fabrics that match too. I like to be unique! I love yours and didn't think they look the same. Is it as hard as it seemed judging by all the comments and questions in class 1?
Cas, Most of the fabric is from my stash, I did buy the border since I didn't have any. But I chose prints that were tone on tones and mottled things for this one I don't think any of the fabrics are from Jinny's line. I wanted it to look similar but not the exactly the same as hers.
Thank you all for the encouragement, I will post the next set when made. This project has been fun but I did notice that if you go to her web page she sometimes posts extra helps there. I believe all of the basket blocks will be 9.5 inches square and either 5 x 5 grid, 6 x 6 grid or the 20 x 20 variation(Ash basket, because of the angles).

I Did not think it was hard, I found that if if did not mark accurately then the blocks were off. (the first month) But that is the same with not doing a accurate scan 1/4 on a machine. I did pick up the perfect piecer a few years ago since I am doing the GFG. And that does help a great deal with the hand work. But watching the video with out distraction and reading the instruction once before I cut anything, I did not have any problems. I also watched the videos on Jinny's website for how she does the intersections as a reinforcement. (I like pictures and videos.) I did have to reprint the templates once or twice since my printer adjusted them but I caught that problem before I cut anything. So far some of the templates have been reused so just one sheet of template plastic has been more than enough so far. I think you will enjoy the lessons and put your own twist on the quilt, you do very nice work.

What is the GFG? I don't know what browser you use, but I found if I print templates in chrome they are not the accurate size so I turn on IE when I print templates, from Quilter's Cache for example. I don't know about doing hand piecing, but it might be a refreshing change.
