Round Robin Border 3

It’s Monday, and time to show Round Robin Border 3 for the SAHRR quilt along. Are you sewing with us? 

This week’s host is Anja, so be sure to visit her at AnjaQuilts to read her tips about this week’s border – flying geese. Then, when you have your border added, don’t forget to go back and link up. 

I started by making some flying geese and auditioning them, using my phone once again to give me a good idea of how they might look. 

Here’s one option – I could run them just across the top and bottom:

Or I could place them on the sides:

If I placed the flying geese on the sides, I could use a setting square in the corners. In the end, I opted for the setting squares, but I still wanted to avoid the quilt looking too busy. So I ended up with this. Not a full flying geese border, but that’s okay. I can use them however I like in my quilt (and you can too).

I’m looking forward to seeing what each of you do with the flying geese border. It’s been interesting to see all the different quilts in our group! 

Don’t forget to visit the other co-hosts for the SAHRR. 

Happy stitching on your Round Robin Border 3, everyone!
