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.

Thank you for the tip--looks like it would make a great border
