As promised, here are some better photos of the borders added to my snowflake round robin centre. Reading through the notes the girls wrote as they sewed, it seems I gave them quite a challenge! I didn't mean to make it so difficult, but they certainly rose to the challenge well anyway!

First Helen added a pieced border using blocks of her own design to echo the crystalline features of the centre and snailtrail corners, all in beautiful sparkly fabrics:
Next AJ added snow-capped mountains in a selection of sparkles and snowflake prints, and some of the background fabric I'd sent:

And last, Joy added the third border, a beautiful combination of piecing...

and applique:

The sparkly snowflakes were appliqued in opposite corners, all in a shimmery silver thread!

I think this is my favourite:

Yessssss, this one was a challenge! I should email you the photos of my first attempt! Remember I did one then had AJ post it all the way back to me so I could unpick it and do it again??
Everyone did such gorgeous work! What a very pretty (and snowy) quilt. So will you be the one finishing this off with the quilting?
Can't wait to see how you quilt it!
THat looks lovely! I really like the applique snowflakes.
