My Week 3 Border is done for the
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.
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.
