Making the border is just the first part. I hate to tell you what is next! Then you have to fit it onto the quilt top that you made for it.

The trick is to make the border estimating what you'll need only slightly bigger. Make a frame, like a picture frame. Sew it all into one piece. Then carefully measure what you have and then what you need. Fill in the extra space with background strips called cop[ATTACH=CONFIG]620448[/ATTACH]nig strips. Like you are coping with a disease, well we are. Sew in the strips onto the top and then trim off what you won't need and sew in the border.[ATTACH=CONFIG]620447[/ATTACH]Here are my 4 corners.[ATTACH=CONFIG]620449[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]620450[/ATTACH]
