I have some antique quilts with a triangle type edge (trim?) going all the way around the quilt. I'd love to try this technique, but I have no idea what it's called, so its hard to find a tutorial on it. Is it called something specific?I've enclosed a scan with the quilts. Looks like there are two different methods used- I have no idea what either one is called
Thanks for helping with another newbie question :-)

Try and find a tutorial on a wedding ring quilt..with the curved finished edge..looks like the same technique just different shape.
I am always fascinated by the older quilts and the designs and techniques they used. I have my grandma's templates that she cut out of cardboard and some she cut out of fine sandpaper. I think sometimes with all our advances and fancy stuff we make things way too complicated for ourselves. =)
