I do love your scalloped border. I put that on my first quilt (Dresden Plate). Second time around will bound to be much easier, I hope!
I just love that quilt. It stood right up and waved at me!!!
Hi Judy and thank you for your enthusiastic reply. The center square is a carpenters wheel star which is easily found on the web and perhaps even on this site if you do a search. As for the rest, the scalloped border is the only one I have. Yes, 4 other people worked on this quilt. I did the center square and the scalloped border and of course the quilting. Each of the other 4 people added the border of their choosing to enhance this quilt and then I got it back to complete it and could have enlarged it out to fit a bed but opted to keep as a beautiful throw. I have another round robin going out there and will share when it's finished but I don't get it back for another 2 months and have no clue what is happening with it thus far and won't until the night I get it back. We each have a full month to complete our border and then we pass it on to the next person the 2nd Monday of each month. They are fun as long as people don't get too picky or critical. We had no restrictions on this one and we all got beautiful quilts. When you're bound by restrictions it not only ties your hands but frustrates you and limits your creativity.
Print out a photo of it and see if you can be stimulated to come up with something similar on your own. Have fun.
Hugs
