There are to be baskets on the four corners of the quilt and I have based the design on one seen on a similar quilt to the Sundial, dated 1799.
I photocopied the fabric I intend using and auditioned the cut out paper pieces on the square of background ticking -

| Sorry this picture is a bit out of focus, I took it hurriedly this
morning, it is just to give an idea where the baskets are to be
placed. |
You will notice that I have at last sewn all the squares together - no more Block Butler! I I did it by hand as many of the pieces needed a bit of easing in. I couldn't do this on the sewing machine as I am not a good enough machinist, so I think it will all hand sewn - apart maybe from the very outer borders - but a long way to go yet!
