Since completing my "curve it up" blocks, I've been thinking of ways to put them together. I knew I didn't want to put them on point, so that was ruled out. I knew I wanted some sort of sashing and wanted them to float.
A few days ago I had an idea in my head and after drawing it out on paper, thought it just might work.
Yesterday, I added the border to this block and loved it right away! I contemplated on what color to use for the border and decided on a plum which looks fantastic with the orange and aqua!
I couldn't wait to add more borders on to my blocks. I got 3 more done today.
Now.... I'm really loving how it's turning out. I love how it makes each block stand out and it really directs your eye to look at the individual blocks. It also creates a great secondary design!
Okay...so, if you love this as much as I'm loving it...I did up a little tutorial on the next post showing how to do it.
...and you thought you were done...he...he...he!
