Border Designs for Your Quilt

When you get to a particular point in making your first quilt,

you realize there are four corners that you must do something
with.

Many people let their first experience with corners keep them
from ever attempting another quilt project.

Do not get cornered by quilt corners.  You have options and
solutions that are easy enough with a little practice.

We want our quilts to look good, obviously.  A lot of work goes
into your quilt and a final step like corner work shouldn't be
a big dilemma.

One of the choices is to leave the corners as strips that bump
up to each other or to miter the corners.

There are a couple of ways to add simple strips to the sides of
your quilt without mitering the corners or complicating the
borders with cornerstones.

Rather than explain it, you'll get pictures and a description

P.S.  One other key is to make sure that the measurements for
your borders are correct. You'll find a link for a video
showing how to measure for your borders:
