Bee Patriotic Sew Along, week 3

I'm loving this sew along, is anyone else following along?

This is my Shine block, I enjoyed making the hourglass blocks.

This is the Snowflake block, it looks like a firecracker!

This is the Reindeer Hooves block, it looks great in this color combo :)

I started cutting the borders for each block in the background color,

but found out that I didn't have quite enough fabric.

I can't run to the fabric store, because I live too far away from one.

I did the only thing I knew how, I pieced the border sashings together until I had enough...it shouldn't be very noticeable, 

because the sashings will only be 1" wide, finished.

Has anyone every done this before?
