Elizabrat, so sorry about the arm. Glad to hear you are home again.

I have been working away on my center, but have gone a little rogue. I have a book by Sally Collins on borders and one quilt has caught my eye/heart and so I am using it for the next couple of rounds. I really wanted to use Jaba's friendship stars, but in keeping with the Eagle Scouts found a PP star with 5 points on The Quilter's Cache. It was 8 inches which started my fun ride with Sally's book. I have finished a round (even though it may not look finished). I will add another round to make the quilt square again.

1. Center- Eagle Scout applique' 24.5 x 24.5
2. Jan-Curling Ribbon 32.5 x 32.5
3. Feb- a) 1 inch white filler border to bring white out from center 34.5 x 34.5
b) 8 inch PP stars from Quilter's Cache + side triangles (bottom length 24.5 inches)
c) 1 inch red outline border around stars (again brings red out from center)
d) 5 inch light blue border to fill in corners- really wanted to use Jaba's friendship stars (4 inch floating) but it
was just too many stars

Think I am through for this month, may start adding next round since it is different. Will wait to see what Elisabrat and Jaba do. Might be able to incorporate in next round. So here is a picture.
