SAHRR Border 2

It’s Monday, and it’s time to reveal the SAHRR Border 2 – my border for this year’s Stay at Home Round Robin. I have enjoyed peeking in on the linky party throughout the past week to see all of your spool borders. You are a creative bunch, so let’s get started on the next border – STARS!!  You can choose any star block you wish – there are many to choose from, so have fun! Remember that this is your quilt, you can choose your border layout. I have a terrible time with border math, so you will often see spacer units for my borders. If you struggle with that like i do, watch for some tips on border math in upcoming posts (not from me – LOL).  After adding my green coping border once again, I chose to make eight little 3.5″ spinning stars for my border. With just four 1-1/2″ HSTs and five 1-1/2″ squares for each star, they went together quickly.  I chose to make my stars in gold, alternating the fabrics for the centers and the blades. The trick with this block is to watch the orientation of those blades – it’s pretty easy to turn one the wrong way.  The Schedule and Weekly Hosts For your reference, here’s the schedule once again.
