"I put a "flap" in the border" doesn't sound nearly as complicated as "I sewed in a dimensionally folded insert at the outer edge of my inner border to separate, enhance and accentuate the rich tones of the outer border. It also adds a "three dimensional" quality to my quilt rather than the normal two dimensions of yours." Now, you've really accomplished something. :lol: :lol: Personally, I'll put a flap in.[/quote]

Hah! I love this! You made me laugh out loud! You would be a great writer for commercials!

Your term makes more sense to me! :wink:

We call it a "peeper" border, which I think describes it well as it peeps out between the quilt and other borders. I use it a lot to add a nice contast framing the quilt body.
