How do you use black accents-strips individual or other? For quilting?
I want to learn to put black around blocks to create "windows" and sharp looking quilting objects....I have looked at the ones that do it here and can't seem to tell exactly how to do it. I do not detect seams intersections, etc for a smooth look. I don't know what to call it so cannot look up tutorial.

Do you mean like little sashing strips around blocks? Don't you just make them whatever size you want and then add them to the sides and top/bottom of your blocks? I'm not sure if I understand the question maybe.

Why don't you look up pictures of flange, sash, binding, lattice, and border and see what is the best way to describe what you have in mind. From there, I am sure you can find people to help you with directions or tutorials on how to achieve that look.
Sometimes very narrow accent strips are best achieved by using paper piecing or another foundation method. Other times, they're appliqued on to the top. You may just have to experiment to find what works best for you.

Perhaps are you thinking of the Attic Windows pattern: http://www.quilterscache.com/A/AtticWindowsBlock.html

Border is what goes around the whole quilt and then binding is the final finish after quilting. My friend had trouble keeping these words straight when she started too. They will fall in place for you before you know.
