Maybe "flap" is too common or it just doesn't sound like you've done something to amaze and astound people. "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! |

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.

Deecee - a "peeper border" is perfect. Kinda says it all and sounds like it is! (Hummm, does this make sense?)
|
Makes sense to me!

I have used this type of border a number of times. Just last week on an appliqued cat wall hanging. if I was on my computer I would post a picture.
