wow Ninnie - you've been a busy bee! That is bee-auu-tii-fuull!! What a great way to use those mare stare fats! Just and idea for the border - could you do the blocks so the cream HSTs finish off the points in the Hatchet blocks? Would that work? :D

That is awesome Ninnie, To give the border a different look, I would first put on a plain border then do the HST in a straight line instead of a square and then another plain border, then if you have enough left another string of the HST and then another plain border.

Or I just had another thought, doing a zigzag pattern.

Great idea, have a bunch sewn together, but have to find them. :oops: :oops: I placed them in a plastic bag , and they are lying here somewhere. I will post a picture later when they show up. Also tried the reverse , with the cream in the middle, and didn't really like it, but will put it in the picture
Thanks for the great ideas!!!

I like the border on the upper left, also <g> or bunkhouse braid - - you know ... cowboys and Indians??? <g>


I love the sound of a bunkhouse braid, but don't know what it looks like, Do you have a picture? It sounds like it should go with an Indian Hatchet! I would love to see it!

Me too. The only one that does not work IMO is the pinwheel. I think the border should incorporate the diagonal line of the lattice. Either way - it is, and will be beautiful.
