SAHRR ~ Round 2 ~ Plus Sign Border

 

Here is my second border for the Stay-At-Home Round Robin.

This week's prompt for the second border called for Plus Sign Blocks.

This was a good choice for me because I knew I wanted a less busy border

with a lot of the gray and white background print

to lighten and frame the bold center.

I cut up my scraps and made one plus sign block.

I decided to make three more and use these as the cornerstones.

Then I strip pieced long side borders to match the plus sign.

I am happy with how this frames the center.

This is for the

All you Need to Know to Join SAHRR @ Quilting Gail

The prompts are weekly on Mondays.

This is where I started with this orphan Star Chain Block at center.

This is my first border, which called for piano keys.

I am very much enjoying building this quilt.
