Default Long armers
what is your favorite border. I enjoy quilting the blocks, but the borders always challenge me

It depends on how I've done the rest of the quilt. I'll choose a border design that goes with the rest.

Beadboard is like piano keys only you alternate with a thin spacing between the lines and a wide spacing. In this quilt the very outer border and the background quilting on the next area in is beadboard
