I finished the Sharks Tooth Border and it's on the center unit.
There are some boo-boos, but they are staying. I need them as reminders of what went wrong & to figure out how to fix them on the next set of borders!

Let's see - booboos - ends of the border weren't done in the traditional way, leaving me to get creative. Liked Lesley's idea for the square in a square. One of the ends didn't finish up in the right way - too high, not meeting at the seam allowance. Then, to top it all off - oopsies - my sewing line wasn't accurate and some of the innie points don't meet at the block right. However, that's how it's staying.
Next border will face this one, only I will look the shark tooth borders in more depth & see how the outer side is supposed to turn the corners.
All in all, this was a very productive weekend. Ieven managed to cook a time or two. Leftovers tomorrow night!

oh my goodness Kathy! how do you do all that?
I have a question...you have a block in your center that has green and red and pink in it...it looks like #22, but it's not on that thread.
I just love it and wanted a better look.
Is there another # that looks like 22?

I also fattened those leaves up quite a bit!!!
Here's a close up. I haven't been posting the blocks as I finished them, but rather am waiting for the matching week to come up. Also made a lily pad leaf in the center & added a bit of veining.

Kathy your sharks-teeth border looks lovely and I didn't notice any oopsies.
I really like your different light/dark placement on the outer leaves of #22. Gives a different look to the block. I think I might have to remember that for mine (when I eventually get to it). :D
