I don't have a picture of the quilts that I used it around the blocks, but I did use it in one of the borders of this quilt I made last year. It is still a UFO! Needs ta be quilted!

The maroon border is 1/4 inch.
I felt that these borders toned down the bright quilt.

I'm hoping that the quilting will deemphasize the swastika. I did not plan on that happening!

The trick to making these borders is to put the 1/4 foot on the inside of the small border & run it along the seam. Most of the quilt goes through the neck of the machine 'cause you are doing it backwards. Clear as mud? Maybe I'll take a picture tomorrow.
