Stay at Home Round Robin - round two!

Mondays are an exciting day if, like me, you're participating in the Stay at Home Round Robin QAL.   That's the day the guest hosts share the next border idea that we'll be working on for the week.  You can see the latest round robin designs that participants have been working on over at The Darling Dogwood.

So this week's border idea prompt was Plus Sign blocks.   I started with four 3 inch finished blocks.

Then, what next?  More plus signs?  Strips to connect them?

I had to go look through the bloggers who had linked up already and see what they had done.

You know how that goes - each one I looked at was my favorite!  So I would go look at my block and fabric and do some figuring and try to work out how I might do "this one" or "that one."  Then I saw what Pat at Life in the Scrapatch had done for her plus sign border, and knew that was THE one!  

I made two strip pieces and laid them up on the design wall - yes, I think this will work!

And here's how my round robin project looks now!  It is 18.5 inches square.

I like the way this round frames the center and 

blends with the busier piano key border.  

Now I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next!
