Today we are moving beyond the center and adding our borders for the Garden Walk Quilt Along – June.
If you have chosen to finish your quilt, that’s fine too.
The outer borders feature some super simple nine patch quilt blocks and four star quilt blocks.
They are set in a corner, not on point– but they do have triangles along the sides of the nine patch quilt blocks and on the top of the star quilt blocks.
These blocks will only take a couple of months, and then we will be setting the whole quilt top together! So exciting!
So, for today- let’s focus on the nine patch quilt blocks.
There are eight of them– 2 per corner.
Materials:
Fabric for the blocks, fabric for the triangle setting pick it up at Connecting threads or Fat Quarter Shop
