Block Design 2 ~ Basketweave Blocks
is done. This block took me longer to stitch.
I have also been busy with other things.
The block is a bit smaller than my first two blocks,
so I decided to block it to size.
For this process I used my
I bought this backing board at Fat Quarter Shop:
Blocking Board by Riley Blake @ FQS
It is nice dense foam and it easy to use.
The reverse side allows you to block round blocks.
All that is needed is a foam board, pins and a water spray bottle.
If you are unfamiliar with this process:
Hw To Block a Crochet Block @ Heart Hook Home
I plan to block al my squares for this afghan
so they will be easier to sew together.
Time to start the second basketweaave block.
Edit:
Here is my pink basketweave square after it has dried and with the pins removed.
It now has a much more even shape to it
and the stitches look more flat and even.
I am happy with how this blocking method is working.
I hope you are have a happy weekend!

This block is so cute and looks so complicated to do. Great purchase on the blocking mat. ;^)
