Playing with Borders

Tessellation

I discovered this tessellating block on 6 May 2010.

What if I use it to make borders for a quilt?

This works just fine. However, the corner is directional.

Can I find a corner block that reads the same both vertically and horizontally?

I found this block on the same day that I found the first one. What if I use it as the corner block?

This works equally well in both directions.

I'd like to try one more thing.

What if I orient my original block so that it is horizontal in both arms of the border.

This works too.

The difference between these 3 versions is subtle.  today I prefer the second one; tomorrow I might change my mind.
