Would you please tell me how you mitre your corners on the front?( I am doing 10 charity quilts and they want the backing folded to the front.) Thankyou
I used this method for placemats. The pattern is in McCall's Quick Quilts, February/March 2010 and it includes very good diagrams and instructions, including the mitered border. I'm sure this would work for your your quilts, also. You may have to go on-line to McCall's website for the magazine. (The name of the placemat pattern is Roadside Stand) Good Luck!
