Looking for Book on Borders
I want to buy a book on making borders because I'm looking for some designs other than plain strips of fabric, such as pieced borders. Does anyone have a favorite to recommend? Thanks.

Pieced Borders: The Complete Resource by Judy Martin comes to mind.
|
quilterscache has a section on borders. I've used several.
|
The Border Workbook, by Janet Kime, is my go-to source
|
Another fan of the Border Workbook by Janet Kime!

Donna Jordan has a very nice YouTube video on making interesting borders:

The Border Workbook: Easy Speed-Pieced & Foundation-Pieced Borders, 10th Anniversary Edition Paperback – November 1, 2006I just ordered this on Amazon. Purchased a used version for $8, and it was in excellent condition. I also wanted to bump-up from simple 2 inch strips attached to outside border! |
I have two books, The Joy of Quilting, Borders By Design by Paulette Peters from That Patchwork place.
and Happy Endings , finishing the edges of your Quilt by Mimi Dietrich from That Patchwork Place. |
"Borders, Binding and Edges" and "Fantastic Finishes" are two I saw on Amazon.

I like : Quilter’s Academy Vol. 5 - Masters Year: A Skill-building course in Quiltmaking, Book 5 of 5: Quilter's Academy | by Harriet Hargrave and Carrie Hargrave-Jones | Jan 7, 2016. This book is focused on making Medallion quilts, which are essentially adding one border after another. Very good for making the border fit the quilt.
I did not particularly like the newest book from these authors which is called The Ultimate Quilt Finishing Guide. |
