SAHRR ~ Week 3 ~ Flying Geese

My  Week 3 Border is done for the

SAHRR 2021

For Week 3 @ Anja Quilts, 

the challenge was to add a "Flying Geese" border.

I played around with my fabrics for awhile and sewed a few geese

before I figured out what my quilty muse was calling for this border.

I made the middle side units first and then studied it to decide on the corners.

I finally determined that the plus signs in the second border

could be closed in the third border.

These little squares are the result.

I really like this detail.

It adds a bit  of "Celtic Knot" to the quilt.

I like this so much I may look to add more of this design element in future borders.

Here is a close up of the side details and fabrics. 

The fabrics are mostly Dandi Annie by Robin Pickens

and other pieces from my stash. 

I am really happy with how this round robin is growing 

and am planning to make a bed size quilt.

I used the gray bird print to turn down the volume a bit

and make the corner knots stand out.

Next week I think my border may again be bold and bright.

Time will tell.

Looking forward to Week 4 on Monday.
