Border Ideas

Here are some instructions on how to sew borders to a quilt.  It doesn't work out well to just cut a strip and sew it to the quilt, cutting off the excess at the end.  To have a square quilt, you need to measure the quilt from top to bottom down the center of the quilt.  Then cut your strips (or piece your border) to that exact measurement.  Pin the border to the quilt before you sew it on.
