Stay-at-Home-Robiners! Is anyone out there still playing along? By now you should have your center block, a border incorporating triangles, and then a border incorporating log cabin construction, setting on point if appropriate. Because I had problems getting my 'on point' math to work out, I will be giving a range of widths for all future borders to make it a little easier to get the math to work. Most of you are probably much better at math than I am. And of course, since it's YOUR quilt, you can make any changes you like! Our next border will be a 4-6" border incorporating either pinwheels or hourglass blocks. You can use floaters between rounds whenever necessary or desired. I inserted a floater before my log cabin border, but I won't need one this time.
Speaking of log cabin borders, where was this one when I was searching last month?
Here are some samples I found with either pinwheels and/or hourglass blocks.
Click on any of them to enlarge. I hope these give you some ideas! This last example also has several samples of floaters. Feel free to add them whenever you need to seperate busy borders. Have fun!! I can't wait to see how you're coming along. Be sure to post your projects on the
flickr site. If you still need an invite, leave a comment here and I'll send the invite to you. Remember - this is a two month assignment. We will take the month of December off so everyone can work on all their little secret projects and spend time with their families. I plan to get mine done soon so I can kick back and relax.
Counting my blessings......Sunny
Oh thank goodnes we have two months. gives me plenty of time to catch up and then do the new border.
ReplyDeleteI can never get pinwheels to match in the middle. Can you???
