Border Police???
#73
I just made an oversized queen quilt and the pattern called for a 4" pieced border and then another 4" final border. I think all quilts are different and I usually do what I think makes sense to me, looks good and also consider what and how much fabric I have on hand vs. having to go buy more. I love quilting because there really are no rules just lots of ways to do things differently for the same effect.

Sooooooo,do we have to turn our quilts in if they have the wrong size border? I guess I'll be left out in the cold. I do what is pleasing to me. I do like the idea of making the border divisional (sp) by the block. I think that's the first time I've heard that info. Now if only I can remember it when I need a border. :lol: :lol:

I have no rules for borders, I think I read someplace that the border should be half the size of the largest block for balance, but since I usually put several borders on mine, I just go with what looks best on a particular quilt.
