As for the border, I think it looks just fine and your quilt now has its own story.<br /><br />I live in the Great White North (Canada) and while we normally have a white Christmas this year it was unseasonably warm (10C or more). It felt strange but yesterday winter finally arrived with a vengeance and we now have plenty of snow!<br /><br />Wishing you a happy, healthy and prosperous 2016!Karen Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01166374693095867682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2391988816380415741.post-14419604198081511392015-12-25T00:15:05.917+11:002015-12-25T00:15:05.917+11:00Oh Hilda, another beautiful SVBA block, I love the...Oh Hilda, another beautiful SVBA block, I love the different backgrounds and the red and green fabrics.

I just finished shoveling 12" of snow from my driveway. Your applique block for the month is stunning. The red and green are always so striking. I wouldnt worry about the corners. They're paired up perfectly. Actually, I like how they turned out.

I like your border triangle direction better than the original. And I am with you 100%, I'll take applique any day. I have never seen such color variety in hydrangeas. I think the hollyhock is one of my favorite flowers. I think because they remind me of my Nana. I cannot however get them to grow in my clay soil.

Your applique is beautiful! I don't think you can avoid those corners unless you split the borders in the center, having them go in opposite direction. You will have the look of a flying goose at the centers, but the corners should work as long as there is an even number of HST's. Not sure that makes sense to anyone but me--lol! I've made a couple quilts with borders that look like yours and it doesn't bother me a bit--it's just the way it is!Karen in Breezy Pointhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04931154097211557249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2391988816380415741.post-321775603587163542015-12-17T00:34:17.927+11:002015-12-17T00:34:17.927+11:00As a Brit, I found your writing about the Aussie C...As a Brit, I found your writing about the Aussie Christmas very interesting.
