Pfeffernuesse

The rainbow scrap color for April is red. I chose a Bonnie Hunter ufo called pfeffernusse from her book string fling. I started a lot of string projects when her book first was published. I liked all of them, what can I say?

 I started it with 72 string blocks in 2016. In 2017, I cut and made 288 red hourglass blocks.  My plan is to make whatever progress I can during the month. Meanwhile, I need to get busy with my other red scrap blocks.

kaleidoscope borders

I finally figured out how I want to make the borders for kaleidoscope using Marti Micell's template. I needed to take apart the border pieces that were already sewn and add the top triangle before sewing the unit together. When I made a new row, I could do it right in the first place.

I added the top border.

altogether, I added 3 borders and I have one to go before it was time to leave the open sew. I really like how this one looks. I have decided that I don't want a darker outer border.
