I added it to my favorites! Great Site!
Since I am mostly a self taught quilter, taking the occassional class at a quilt shop, or learning word of mouth, it is nice to see this post and get others' opinions.
Often times when I was just begining to quilt I would wrap the backing and hand stitch it as my borders. When someone asked me about it I was glad to learn a new way. But I still will "wrap the back" border on a gift quilt to one of my grand kids!
