What would the judges say at a quilt show?
I just happen to be struggling with this same dilemma - I have a striped inner border and a polka dot outer and would like to enter my quilt in our local quilt show. - I was told by an experienced quilter that the rule is 'mitering for stripes' because it gives a more pleasing effect.
Does it matter? Should I make them both mitered so that your eye will flow easier from the corner to the quilt design?
I'll definitely be watching this discussion- thanks Boxer Mom for posting the question.
