CLICK HERE to watch the tutorial I also have already done the tutorial on piecing the baskets in preparation for the appliqués... CLICK HERE if you missed it:) During week two we did blocks Two thru Five. CLICK HERE for that tutorial Last week we added the Basket Blocks Six - Seven - Eight - Nine! CLICK HERE for the tutorials. This week we will be doing the last four of the 13 basket blocks:) All of the cutting and info about each of these blocks is of course in the sew along guide for your convenience:) Basket Block Ten Basket Block Eleven Basket Block Twelve Basket Block Thirteen Let's sew:) I've continued each week to sew all four blocks at the same time:) Let's start with Basket Block Ten The shapes on the Bitty Design Board on the left do not need any clipping in the seam allowances as they are all outer curves. I clipped all of the cleavage areas in the basket trim and leaves and all of the inner curves in the flowers. Turned and shaped!!... Now let's go to the work table and layout the appliqués:) I used the lines on my ruler as needed. After my block is appliquéd I'll press it from the back and use this ruler to trim it down to 15 1/2" x 15 1/2" square so that it can be sewn into the quilt. FLOWER BASKET BLOCK TEN Added to the bottom row of my design wall:) Now let's do Basket Block Eleven. Only one shape on the Bitty Board to the left does not need clipping... just trimming of seam allowances. Before turning...clip the inner curves on the basket trim and the tulip and also the cleavage area in each leaf. Turn...shape and press:) "Plant" your tulip! Check everything by using the lines on the ruler if needed. After my block is appliquéd I'll press it from the back and use this ruler to trim it down to 15 1/2" x 15 1/2" square so that it can be sewn into the quilt. FLOWER BASKET BLOCK ELEVEN One more on the design wall:) Now let's plant the flowers into Basket Block Twelve. Guess what lol... no clipping needed for all the shapes on the Bitty Board to the left:) Before turning... clip all of the cleavage areas in the basket trim and the flower. Turned...shaped and pressed! Pinned and Sue Glued:) After my block is appliquéd I'll press it from the back and use this ruler to trim it down to 15 1/2" x 15 1/2" square so that it can be sewn into the quilt. FLOWER BASKET BLOCK TWELVE And My design wall is full... but we have one more basket block! Let's make Basket Block Thirteen! No clipping needed for the shapes on the bitty board! Clip the cleavage in the basket trim, flower and the two leaves:) Are you ready to plant our last flower? YaY!! After my block is appliquéd I'll press it from the back and use this ruler to trim it down to 15 1/2" x 15 1/2" square so that it can be sewn into the quilt. FLOWER BASKET BLOCK THIRTEEN And now we have all thirteen Flower Basket Blocks completed!! Obviously I can't fit it on my design wall so this block lives on it's own design board... patiently waiting to be appliquéd. They are now all ready for applique and as I mentioned in my week one video I like to save that step until they are all completed and do them all at the same time. Thank you for sewing with me today and I will be right back here next week for the tutorial on the Piece and Plenty Pinwheels!! xx Lori Other Places to find me: @Beelori1 Instagram Lori Holt/YouTube

CLICK HERE for the tutorials. And last week we did the last four of all 13 basket blocks:) CLICK HERE for that tutorial:) All of the cutting and info about each of these blocks is of course in the sew along guide for your convenience:) Today we are making the pinwheel blocks! I took an evening and cut all of the squares for the pinwheels... And pulled the fabrics for the outside borders that we will add after the pinwheels are sewn together:) As per usual... all of the cutting for each fabric and each block is in the guide. As called for in the supplies... you will need the two new sizes of Trim-It Rulers for these blocks. 5" and 2 3/4" Okay! These are the squares that we need for block one. I've paired them up... And I'm ready to sew! But first grab a pencil... your 1/2" x 6 1/2" Marking Ruler and your small cutting mat. Place the ruler exactly in the center from corner to corner on the BACK of the two lightest squares. Now mark a line on each side of the ruler. These are your stitching lines and are 1/2" apart! Now place the squares right sides together like this and sew directly on all four marked lines... Press to set the seams and then cut them apart like this... but don't press them open yet! Place the 2 3/4" Trim-It Ruler with the center diagonal line directly on your marked line/sewing seam... And trim off the excess like this!! Now you can press your seams open. Each half square triangle now measures exactly 2 3/4" x 2 3/4" I like to use my Quick Press Seam Roller to open the seams all the way before PRESSING with my iron. Try to press and not iron. A back and forth motion of ironing may distort the seams so press instead. Lay out your pinwheel block like this and it's time to sew it together! Use an accurate 1/4" seam allowance. I achieve this by using the Seams Sew Easy Guide. After sewing... press these seams open as well. And then sew them together. I use my Double Pins for this part and place on each side of the center seams where they join up so that they will not slip as I sew. They are thin enough to stitch over if you would like to... just go slower over that seam. BTW Looky at the cute new container that I designed for my Pretty Pins!! And your cute pinwheel is sewn!!! Seams are pressed open and are nice and flat thanks to the roller and a hot iron:) Now it's time for the 5" Trim-It Ruler to check if it measures 5" x 5" Line up both horizontal and diagonal lines of the ruler with the seam lines of your pinwheel. If you have extra fabric sticking out past the ruler then trim it off. If you have fabric that does not go all the way to the edge like I do in mine (right side bottom half) then you know it's a little short in that seam... So I simply place a pin there and then I know when I'm lining it up to sew next to the pink pinwheel... I can place it where it needs to go because I know which seam is accurate. Sew your pinwheels together into three rows like this and press seams open:) Then sew those three rows together... pressing those seams open as well to finish. YaY! Now cut your borders and add the sides first then top and bottom last. I pressed these seams towards the borders. Looky how cute!!! Keep in mind that I had you cut the borders a little wider so that you could trim them down with the 15 1/2" Trim-It Ruler just like for the basket blocks. It's easy peasy to do by lining up all of the ruler lines with your seam lines in the block. I'm saving this step until all of my blocks are appliquéd and then I will trim ALL of the blocks for the quilt at the same time right before I sew them together:) I super love these springtime Piece and Plenty Pinwheel Blocks! I especially love the sweet little borders:) I hope that you enjoy every step of making your pinwheels as much as I did! Thank you for sewing with me today and I will be right back here next week for the big finish!! xx Lori Other Places to find me: @Beelori1 Instagram Lori Holt/YouTube
