On the next quilt I am making, I thought it would be fun to have a 4 -5 inch border around the backing. Since I am sure that someone on this board has done this, What are your suggestions, helps and things you have learned while doing it ? I actually bought my first bolt of fabric for this quilt. I am ready to get it done and on my bed. I usually just lay the backing down on the floor, tape it down and lay the batting and the top on it. Never measure for it, just cut off the extra. That is why I am asking this question. Thanks
