Borders

Okay, I'm a terminology idiot. Is the thing you guys are talking about like the little "extra" tab on a pillow case? That little strip that's sewn in but not sewn down between the case fabric and the hem fabric? Just so I'll know in the future.

"I put a "flap" in the border" doesn't sound nearly as complicated as "I sewed in a dimensionally folded insert at the outer edge of my inner border to separate, enhance and accentuate the rich tones of the outer border. It also adds a "three dimensional" quality to my quilt rather than the normal two dimensions of yours." Now, you've really accomplished something. :lol: :lol: Personally, I'll put a flap in.

raptureready,
Thanks for the pillow case tip. NOW I understand.
By the way, you have a wonderful way with words. Your descriptive explanation of the three-dimensional seam is fantastic - wish I would have said that!
