inner border flap
#1
Have any of you seen (or made) a little, skinny inner border on your quilts that is kind of a raised "flap"? I would like to find a tutorial online but I have no idea what this technique might be called!

I believe it is called a "flange" or something like that. It's been a while but I did put one in a quilt about 8 years ago. I used 1" wide fabric, pressed it in half to 1/2" and sewed it around the quilt with a 1/4"seam. It left a 1/4" little flange around the edge. I like how it looked

You treat it like piping but without the core or cording in the fabric. You just fold a strip in half, press, then stitchit in .. in the middle of the seam( sandwiched). you can vary the width, but I like the look of a narrow or no greater than 1 1/4 inch cut fabric. You can use length or width of fabric for your strips.

There's also a good tutorial for the faux type of flange in our forum:
