Jinny Beyer designs the most gorgeous fabrics around, but they can be daunting to work with. Check The Quilt Pattern Magazine for tips from their editors. Earlier this year there were a number of tips for working with Jinny's border prints. I love them and have many in my stash, but sometimes they scare me. Cut them the wrong way, use them the wrong way and you have a mish mash. There was a pattern in TQPM called "Jewels of the Orient" and I was sure that the Jinny Beyer border prints would work fantastically. Posed the question to the editors of the magazine and was told straight out where I could run into big trouble. That is the honesty I want and so Jinny's border prints are waiting for another project.
