border question
Is it possible to add a strip of fabric around a block without having to rip all the other fabric that has already been sewn on around it? I have a center panel I made and have sewn 2 other strips around it already but now think a thin black border around the Center one would look best but am wondering if I need to rip off the other fabric in order to add it.
I hope that makes sense....lol

I think removing the other strips is your best approach. The only other option I can think of is cutting on the seamline of the strips you want to remove but this will cut off the seam allowance of your main panel and will reduce its overall size when you sew the new black border on--but if the new black border adds the same width and length back, it might just work for you.

Yeah I figured I'd have to take the complete outer strips off but was hoping
there may be a way I didn't know of. Arg! I was almost done, just needed to add the last 4 strips to all sides and I'd be done. Off to remove these 8 strips and tear it back to the beginning block
