Interesting border for inspiration   General Discussion

This is the center medallion of a quilt, "Oma's Blues" by Esther Aliu.  This portion is 21" square.    However, I wasn't interested in the entire quilt, I was taken by the **border** around the center applique!   It could very easily be straightened out to be a linear border.  

The members of the FB group, "Esther's Quilt Blog Group" (https://www.facebook.com/groups/EsthersQuiltBlogBOMGroup/) is currently working on this pattern as a virtual group.  LOTS of wonderful eye candy to illustrate how everyone is interpreting this pattern.    Although the pattern is available (retail), if you are a member of her FB group, it is being offered for free in monthly installments.  Yes, I'm a member of the FB group.  No, I am not working on this sew-along.  :-)

This blue/white version embellishes the border triangles with the suggested circles and diamonds (also appliqued).  I think the roses in the corners are Broderie Perse.

No photo description available.

This red version puts small decorative *buttons*  in the triangles.   Alternatively, you could also put some hand-embroidered motif there.   This version uses the corner motifs that are supplied with the pattern.

No.

No, no, no!

I have other projects lined up and this is NOT one of them!   I was simply intrigued by the triangular border treatment.

Have you paid your internet bill?   LOL!  

honestly, no.   I assume you can see pictures that others have put in their posts?  I'm not aware of any special  "permissions" or anything.
