Welcome everyone! Thanks for playing along. I look forward to seeing your centers. Our first border is a play on flying geese.
I used a no waste method. This is made possible with a
flying geese ruler. I like this method for two reasons. First there is no waste. Second I can cut geese, and sky from the same strip. And if I need to I can cut squares that fit them also. No cutting different sized strips. YAY! For your border you will need a 2 1/2" strips of background and print. Cut 12 sky triangles from background
20 geese triangles from background
4- sky triangles and 24 geese triangles from print
Sew a sky background to a print geese as shown
Next sew a background geese to the previous unit as shown.
Continue with this process unit you have 4 strip with 6 print geese, 5 background geese and finish off with a sky background. Also make 4- half square triangles with remaining sky pieces.
Sew a geese strip to each side of your center. To the two remaining geese strips sew a half square triangle to each end as shown.
Sew these to the top and bottom of your center. Cut 3 width of fabric 1 1/2" strips of background. Sew these end to end. Sub cut into 2- 28 1/2" strips and 2- 30 1/2" strips. Sew the 28 1/2" strips to the sides of your center. Sew the 30 1/2" strips to the top and bottom. Now your ready for next month. Your center should measure 30 1/2" squares.
