kwiltnkats asked if a pieced borer was in the works for Candy Sunflower Seeds. There wasn’t, but admittedly I wasn’t excited by what I was planning on doing or the finished size the quilt was going to be (approx 54 x 71). So, I started playing with borders in EQ. This is what I’ve come up with now:
I don’t like the big cornerstones — but I just had a flash of inspiration and if I go with this option I’ll make those the same size squares as the rest of them – 2 1/2″ finished. The pieced border also makes the quilt a bit larger – approx 63 x 80 and more inline with the size I frequently make.
Now I’m off to figure out exactly how I’m going to piece that border — 4-patches or Seminole piecing….
You could do Square in a Square again to make that border too. Then you wouldn’t have to use side triangles on the 4 patches.
