...At least, I think it's called a braid. I'm going to make a table runner using Quiltbug.com's free table topper pattern (pic below).
But I want to put a border around it, and this question may be a bit premature, but - when you're going to put a border around a braid like this, do you cut it differently? I mean, one of the last steps on quiltbug's instructions is to cut it so the sides are straight (instead of the triangles that you would have left). So do I cut it the same? For some reason I'm thinking if you cut it the same and added a border, it would cut off your points.
Not sure if any of that made sense, but I hope it does!
Also, I have three different purple fabrics (see pic below) - do you recommend doing dark in the middle and then the medium and the white going out or white in the middle and medium and dark going outward?
