The border I am working on for Jan came out of the book Borders By Design and I am liking it very much. To answer your question Brat, yes I would do a fancy pieced border around some of my quilts now that I know how. Jaba, what is the name of the book about borders that you like? Lucky you and your family to have elk meat for the winter. I always liked it when my DH got game during hunting season. Sure made it easier to feed the family. Pictures soon of Jaba's block.
