thanks so much for showing how you cut your borders. I will have to try this on my next quilt

Do you sew your side borders first then the top & bottom OR do the top and bottom first then the sides??

Good explanation – you should teach more – you are great at explaining!!

Morning Judy L – what kind of cutting mat is that in the pictures? is it one of the custom cut ones? and what are the benefits? I am not familiar with the white mats as I have always bought the green ones (Joann’s with a coupon). I do not need a custom one yet, but doing my research. Thanks for the information.

Thank you for sharing your method of making borders. I always enjoy seeing different ways of accomplishing the various steps of putting together a quilt. Sometimes when I’m reading your blog, I get a real “light bulb” moment and things just seem to fall in place. Other times I just blow a fuse.

This is a great insight into how you work, and I really appreciate you sharing it. It’s interesting to see how other people do things; personally I leave my borders to last because I like to get a ‘feel’ for the quilt before I decide on the borders.
