Anniversary Sampler Quilt: Block 2, Basket on Point

The pattern for block number two of the Anniversary Sampler Quilt didn't quite make it into today's newsletter, but here you go. It's a modified basket block that's set on point. The block is mostly made up of half-square triangle units and squares cut in half, so it's super simple, just watch your seam allowances and grain lines to avoid any pesky stretching. I'll have a photo of the actual block up Thursday -- photos taken this evening with the flash didn't come out real well and setting up the studio lights is a bit more than I can handle tonight. If you haven't seen the quilt layout or the first block, take a look at:
