​In honor of our quilt show this year, the challenge was to create a fancy pieced border. The rules were:

1.  Your quilt can be any size you wish.
2. The quilt top will be made of sashed, 4 patch blocks and they can be any size you wish.
3. There are no color restrictions, it can be 2 color, 3 or it could even be a great stash buster.
4. There must be 2 borders; a small solid border around the center of quilt top, and here is the challenging  part:                    The second border (outside border) must be a fancy pieced border.

All quilts had to have only the above. There was no fancy work except  the outside border. There was  absolutely no appliqué or embellishment.  All 4 patch blocks had to be set on square and not on point. Quilts were judged on color choices and the fancy outer border. No hanging sleeve  required.
