Over Size Borders-Quilt-Then trim borders
Another question relating to borders for you.
I am almost at the final piecing stages with the butterfly quilt. I have auditioned both 4 1/2 and 5 inch border widths. They both look nice. I can't decide which size to use even though it's only a half-inch! LOL!
Knowing that I like generous borders, I have cut the borders at 5 1/2 inch to make the 5 inch border. After quilting, I may cut down to 4 1/2 depending on how it looks on the over-all quilt design.
Have you ever over-sized borders and then trimmed them to size after quilting?
