Borders
Hi all, I was just wondering if you all plan your borders when picking out fabric for your quilt. I seem to not be able to decide about the borders until the quilt center is done. I wonder if some of you also use completely different fabric for the borders {just something that blends well}, that will go nicely with the quilt. Thanks for reading, and happy quilting!

I always wait til the top is done.
|
I have done it both ways, but usually plan the borders from the beginning. Sometimes when it's all done, I think it needs 'something extra' and so may add an additional border.
|
i usually wait as well, unless the border is an integral part of the design of the quilt
|
My borders are almost always my background color. The exception is almost always a baby quilt, and will decide when the top is done.
|
I generally decide when the center is done.
|
I guess Im a planner, I buy my border fabric or pick it from my stash when I plan the quilt.
|
I almost always get the border fabric after the center is done and get the backing after the birder us dine.

Finish the center. Then decide on the borders. Then put it in the UFO pile. ROLFL!!!! That's my MO on making quilts. (Yes, I am serious!)
|
The few times I have chosen (and bought) border fabric at the beginning of the quilt have been futile. I almost always get something different be it from my stash or the LQS. So I recommend waiting until the center is done.
