I posted a drawn pattern that I use. I found the pattern in the back of a magazine and drew it out on graph paper. Then I transferred it to EQ6, that's the copy you can see with the measurements I use. I think it is on the first page of this thread.

Very nice quilts. The flower garden is wonderful!

The second picture, the pink and black striped one - is the border fabric shirred (gathered) ?? That is a most stunning effect, I am going to make something using that too.

Thanks for another really great, unusual (to me!) idea.

The colors are actually pink and brown. The picture was outside so it looks darker than it appears. The border is shirred. My daughter loves the look of a gathered or shirred border. I made a different quilt for her best friend and we did the gathered/shirred border. So, she had to have one too.

Oh goody. It's rare that I see something really new and interesting, this is a fun new idea to me (guess I needa get out more eh!)

Is there any particular pattern you used for this, or any specific tips? Or just start gathering gently until the needed length is achieved? Used a foundation fabric under the shirring?? Hmmm??
I'm going to incorporate this shirring thing into my next mini. I'm very excited about this.
