			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This week I have attempted to sew up three different projects using the BasiX Template for using 2 1/2&#8243; strips. Aren&#8217;t these just so cute?</p>
<p>The blocks pictured below are from one of two patterns that come with the template. I was going to make three blocks for a table runner, but ran out of the cream fabric. And wouldn&#8217;t you know it, I go to the quilt shop and that bolt is gone. Fortunately, they do re-order Moda Solids, I&#8217;ll have to be patient and wait.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2178" title="BasiXOrigamiRose" src="http://schutt.net/sharon/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/BasiXOrigamiRose-300x246.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="246" /></p>
<p>This next design is also included with the template. I chose to make a table runner using strips from Moda&#8217;s Rustic Weave Jelly Roll.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2177" title="BasiXMorningStar" src="http://schutt.net/sharon/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/BasiXMorningStar-300x169.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="169" /></p>
<p>The next pattern is called Twinkle Toes. I used the same Moda Rustic Weave Jelly Roll for the blocks, adding a white dot on black for the pinwheels and a solid white for the background. I love it! It is so bright and cheery. Still needs an outer border which I&#8217;ll find fabric for during my next trip to the LQS. But, I must say, I had a dickens of a time with the pattern. Seems the yardage is wrong as well as dimensions in some of the steps. I went to the Quilt Queen Designs website (xblocks.com) to see if they list corrections for patterns, and although I did find one correction for another pattern, I couldn&#8217;t find any corrections for Twinkles Toes.</p>
<p><a href="http://schutt.net/sharon/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/BasiXTwinkleToes.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2176" title="BasiXTwinkleToes" src="http://schutt.net/sharon/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/BasiXTwinkleToes-300x274.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="274" /></a></p>
<p>Do you ever find mistakes in patterns and then check out the designer&#8217;s website to see if corrections are listed?  I do, and am always happy when I find they do have a corrections page.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll be demoing X-Blocks and BasiX templates this Saturday at Fabrics and Friends Quilt Shoppe in Roanoke, IN from 10-3.</p>
<p>Update! I just revisited xblocks.com and there IS a revision for Twinkle Toes dated 2-16-15.  I&#8217;m glad to know I&#8217;m not crazy, and they do post corrections!</p>
