    Default Borders / binding

    Talking at class we were discussing a border which has mitred border and is used as a binding as well. I have never heard or read about this. I thought if you did this method it would have to be joined by sewing outside edge and then attaching to the rest of quilt then quilt, just doesn't seem right.
    How do you have a 4 inch border which is also the binding?
    Thanks to those brilliant people who are going to tell me.

    I'm not 100% sure if this is what you are referring to, but the one I saw was done in a similar fashion to the Missouri Star Quilting's receiving blanket:

    As I remember, you needed to fiddle with the batting... I don't know if I would try it on a bed size quilt.

    thanks for that link. her method gives the result i was thinking of. however, the method i was thinking of was much more complicated. i had seen it done on one of the many quilting shows that used to air many years ago.,

    Here's how I am thinking it could be done ... and something I have been considering for awhile.
    ...... make a really wide binding strip!!

    You could do it two different ways ....
    * sew the normal seam width of a binding, then flip the large extra over, pin in place and machine or hand stitch in place.
    * or sew the large section in place and then flip for the narrower binding to be where you would hand stitch to.

    The problem I see with both, would be the wide portion would have no quilting to hold it in place, and might start looking a bit undesirable with washings. I guess you could do some machine quilting after the fact.

    On the upside, it'd be a good way to extend a quilt top in length and width.

    QuiltE you could just do a very simple run of quilting down the border once it is finished. The problem is why in my idea I joined for a seam at the top then put onto quilt but I am sure there must be another way.

    QuiltnNan what is a receiving blanket please. You o to collect the baby all wrapped up with no labour or nine months pregnancy?

    Heirloom quilting has a utube of Kate's big border. This looks an easy way to do a plain border.
    Still can't find out how to keep a pattern or block to the edge.

    Dottymo, a recieving blanket is usually a small flannel blanket used when the baby is first born. Small and just a bit of warmth.
