Quilt with bottom corners cut off
Has anyone seen a quilt where the bottom corners are cut off so the quilt does not drag the floor? I'm trying to find out how I would go about adding a boarder to a quilt with this shape. Any help would be great. Thank you.

I did this on a very large quilt and I treated the cut of corners the same as I would for the sides and top and bottom of a standard shaped quilt
|
Hmmm so instead of a ninety degree angle you would have two approximately 45 degree ones, ok so I did not pay that close attention in math class! I would think you could just adapt your boarder so instead of a large square or rectangle quilt as the case maybe you would have an octogon? Ok soooo I just confused myself LOL

I make the large quilts with the bottom corners rounded . I usually use a dinner plate to get a nice rounded edge.
|
Yes, a friendin our quilting group does that with all her quilts. She puts a dinner plate across the corner after adding the border and chops off the sharp point. Never done it myself, though. Not enough guts?

Thank you for all of your help. I think I need to find pictures of the quilts I saw in Santa Clara to try and figure out just what I am thinking. :-)
|
That sounds like a really good idea. I will be watching for how to do.

Glad to see all of the suggestions as I am getting ready to make a king size quilt for my GDIL and will have to do the same to the corners.

A lot of older quilts are made this way. It wasn't so that the corners wouldn't drag the floor but so that the quilt would fit on a 4 poster bed. By removing the corners they could put the end over the edge of the footboard.
