I did one on a baby quilt for my grandson. It's easy... Just cut your border about one and a half times as long as the quilt and then gather up both edges of the border before sewing it on. I made a double line of basting on each edge and then pulled both threads to gather it. Before gathering, mark the half way point, quarter and three quarters so you can pin it to the quilt and then gather equally and pin, then sew. Also, be sure to use a strong thread to gather with so it doesn't break while you are gathering it. If that's not clear, feel free to PM me with any questions.
