I'm not sure what I spent my week doing, but I know I was busy. Sometimes the time just gets away from me. So I am pulling in a couple of pins I found a while back.
If you are in need of a different type of border idea, look at this one. It's from Molly Flanders blog. There is a good tutorial on creating a spike border that is a no fuss, not precise, very relaxed attitude style. In other words, anything works, and no worry about the quilt police pointing out your points are not right! I think it would be great for just about any scrap quilt.
To go along with the spike border, I found another tutorial that will give you a more precise piecing for the border----if you prefer for all things to be the same. This is from asquaredw blog . She refers to them as HRT---half rectangle triangles. I am no math whiz, but she is it seems! It's a good tutorial for creating the HRT.
As always, please visit the original blog posts that are linked in bold print for the information and tutorials. Pin from the original post--not from here--to have a direct link to the information. I am only sharing the source not the info.
And a reminder.......do a daily scan of your computer. There is so much spam and junk out there right now. Don't spread it around....scan. That includes adware scans. Be safe when browsing.

Thank you for the tip--looks like it would make a great border
Those HRT's are on my list of things to do, I've seen a few quilts with them and I like the look. Did you catch something on your new computer?
Very cute border idea. It would look great on a scrappy quilt.
Ooo, what a great border idea. I rarely use borders but that one inspires me! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for this. Great idea.
