Ambassador abn Posted February 13, 2009 Ambassador Report Posted February 13, 2009 Nice job! Wish I could master that arrowhead basketweave pattern... I've tried with poor results, guess I'll keep at it! Quote
Members hushnel Posted February 13, 2009 Members Report Posted February 13, 2009 Very nice, I hadn't seen that arrow head basket weave pattern. I got to get out of the cave more often. Quote
Contributing Member rdb Posted February 13, 2009 Author Contributing Member Report Posted February 13, 2009 Thanx abn. That pattern is the easiest BW, to me. It's just a matter of matching legs, and hitting the center point. There's very little lining up to do, like a regular BW. The hardest part is getting the correct angle so the edge line leg will be blended by the border tool, just takes a few seconds of experiment on an equal sized scrap piece. This is the second time that I've heard people having a bit of trouble getting this one down, next time I do one, I'll take some pictures of the process.
