I am wrapping up the Blues for this months RSC... That gives me a day or two to clean up and guess what March's color will be???? (yellow!!)
I finished all my Blue Buckeyes - but!! do you remember that ORANGE is the Complimentary color to blue? And I live in BRONCO country... so you know... I just had to try something -and An Idea came to me...
But - after a few blocks I didn't like it - so I changed plans.
I had decided that I wanted to make Border blocks with orange - and in my mind I could get them to look like an extension of the quilt center - but the more I looked at it, the more I didn't like it...
And then I was sitting on the couch, playing with my photos and I started cropping it - to see what might happen if I shrunk the border....and
Voila!!!
I liked it - so I kept going.... and I made a few boo boos because with only half a block it became directional.... My seam ripper and I had to meet a few times, but it wasn't too bad....
Ta da!!!!
The finished top!!!
I ask you tho - IS it REALLY a finish if the girls aren't in the photo???
There you go! that is the end of my BLUE RSC stitching for this month!

Love this border idea! Thanks for sharing it; I’m going to try it!
The orange blocks, as a "wrap around" , block border is a great design idea. It adds color, and compliments the blue blocks. Inspiring. Well done.

Love the orange and the shrunken block size! Very cleaver! I wish I could think outside the box.
Great design save, Alycia.
OK - that is a clever twist to the traditional. Wow!!
A partial block for the border is the perfect frame. And of course the girls have to be in the photo for it to be finished! ;)
