Quilt in a Day Forums

A friend and I are exchanging basket blocks. They are 12 inch blocks. I will sew my triangles together to make my basket, but when I sew the top piece with the handle appliqued on the solid color, to the basket, it keeps cutting off the tips of my triangles. I have gone over the directions several times, and still don't see what I am doing wrong. I don't usually have this much trouble, but seem to have a problem with basket blocks. Any help will be appreciated.... Thank you..

are you squaring up every time you sew and press? I also find when sewing on the bias there is some distortion. The handle applique is also on the bias, and if not there will be some pulling. Good luck and hope that helps.
