Home Stretch
I've been thinking about the lay-out for these blocks. I had pretty much assumed I would make five rows of five blocks each, set on point, with some sort of other fabric as the alternate. That is the layout I'm committed to for the Baskets for Bill. But do I want two basket quilts with the same lay-out? I'll have enough for a queen size quilt. I've looked at Piecemeal's suggested layout and while I like it just fine, I'm afraid that there is already too much going on with these blocks -- many made by different people with many different fabrics -- to go with that particular lay-out. I'll have to think it through.

Have you seen the Sewline mechanical pencils? They come with white, pink, yellow, green or black lead. The lead is ceramic, so it "erases" very easily with just a little rubbing or a damp cloth. Maybe you can lightly write the "color" on your fabric so you don't get them mixed up.
As for the setting, what about a simple on point setting, with sashing that matches the setting triangles, and maybe some high contrast cornerstones? Because I can't help myself, I played with your colors in EQ6, and you can see two possibilities here and here.
