    Eleanor Burns has a very nice tool for making scallaped borders and vines and exceptional instructions. I just finished doing the borders yesterday on a large baby quilt and they turned out very nice. Included is a chart of measurements so you don't have to go crazy trying to figure out how many repeats of the scallaps or vines. That's a nice touch!

    I am waiting for my small quilt to come back from the LAQ. I marked the scallops before I sent it in case she needed to see that. I used freezer paper cut to the length of the sides and the ends. I folded it until I liked the width of each scallop and cut the scalloped edge. Then I ironed the paper to my quilt, one side at a time and marked it with wash out marker. I haven't cut my bias border yet and am trying to decide what width to cut it. Do you use a single layer binding or a double layer?
    I cut my bias binding 1 1/2 inches wide---pressed in half and sewed it on--folded it over the back and hand stitched...in one of the web sites I found it said that was a perfect width of binding because if it is too wide it is very hard to do the scallops and have it be smooth on the inside corners....

    Beautiful work. You did something that I'm afraid to do, but some day.
