Challange for May

Make a quilt using only border fabrics; make one “Mexican or Canadian” themed, “Borders” bookstore theme, etc. 

Due at the May 2012 general meeting.

Easy – make a border block

Advanced – make an entire quilt using the border theme

Need some hints for working with border prints?  I enjoy the tips and techniques from Jenny Beyer.  She specializes in border prints so you might take a look to get some ideas.
