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.
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.
