This is an appropriate time to introduce this project file … the only state borders open to South Aussie at the moment is Tassie.

This is from a series of pieced 7P blocks which started as fairly simple crosses, then I modified each cross to get a series of blocks which work well together. In this case the modifications are still happening.

The first design I am sharing came after several false starts because I didn’t have any modifications, and I love it.

Like most projects I start this one is getting interesting.

Over the last twelve months I have been having lots of fun drawing pieced blocks, then adding or removing lines so I have a variety of similar blocks to use in designing quilts.

Yesterday I shared two designs from one of a growing collection of blocks … and today I am sharing two of another. There are many more to come, and a lot of applique designs too.

Next step is to add some quilting lines! This project file is the first one of several in a series based on a series of blocks I have named Border Crossings, from my ...
