Tutorial for those without Word... Tilde Border
“Tilde” border
We all loved the border on DianneF’s “a quilt for auction at a craft fair” posted today. I played around with strips I had (5” x 2” so it looks different) and using a method I learned recently this is my ”mock-up” that seems to work well. Fiddly and there must be no distractions as you will need to pay attention to placement of the strips when sewing together.
Basically you use the same “diagonal” method as you do for sewing binding strips together. Notice reversing of the colors.

Open and press (forgot to take picture of one unit, but I know you can figure it out)
Now join units together – here’s where you really need to watch the unit to be added to get the angle correct! Use same diagonal join.

Again open and press. Remember to reverse your units. I did 3pc units then sewed them together into the length I needed, but you can make one unit and just add single strips to it as you go. (See next post)
