Add a Border Challenge 2009/10

A sealed envelope border challenge was run by the club between Oct 2009 and Jun 2010. All you require to begin is a centre block (square or rectangle) the size and design is entirely up to you. Every two months an envelope detailing a new border in terms of size, style and special requirements was drawn - simply add this new border to your centre block. In September 2010 the participants displayed their resulting unique quilt. The total size of the new borders was 20", so if you start with a centre block of 12" * 12" you will end up with a quilt of 52" * 52".
