My last post on April 28 had me about to put borders
on my latest AHIQ Quilt Along quilt.
After playing around for a while I went with the border treatment below
a single fabric border just didn't look right so after a bit of faffing
around I hit on the idea of splitting and inserting a thin strip
of the fabric used to make the centre collage.
The finished top is now 45 and 1/2" square.
I think this border treatment is definitely going to be used again on
a future quilt or quilts.

Perfect borders, it calms down and highlights the center of the quilt

Gorgeous! The string blocks really make this quilt center sing! Nicely done. :)
LOVELY quilt top - great way to complete the current AHIQ challenge.
Very Nice! Great job!

Wow - this is so pretty! I love those angled strings!
Just wandered in here, it’s fate! I’ve been quiltmaking and crafting for decades, but had to scale back because of arthritis in my aging hands. However, I kept trying and am now addicted to making string blocks. I am SO looking forward to what you do with yours!
It is a wonderful artwork in cloth. You are right the strip around the edge really completes the look holding all of it together.
