Pink Log Cabin - need suggestions for borders
#34
Hi again,
the pattern is adapted from the Jinny Beyer pattern called Chelsea (free pattern download on her website). I pulled assorted fabrics from my stash. Nothing was new except the darkest green. My border print is an older Robert Kaufman fabric which I've had for about six years. The strips are very narrow.
The pattern calls for using the border print again at the intersection of the narrow (my green) logs. I opted not to do that, but it would have created another very beautiful secondary design with an illusion of more curves.
Here is a picture while I was chain-piecing the blocks, before the corner triangles were added.

Another idea. (Bright?) Make those outer triangle blocks complete squares. That would interrupt the border. I love interrupted borders. Means you would have to make a first row of border pieced, to accept the added triangles, then add another bit of straight border. Lots of added work! But your striped fabric would work wonderfully for that.
