Introduction

You know I loved pieced borders. How do you feel about borders? Do you prefer not to add borders? Maybe just a plain non-pieced border? Do you love multiple borders, especially pieced borders?

If you’re one who doesn’t like multiple borders and/or pieced borders, well, I’ll try to come up with something else to interest you . . because I aim to please everyone! :)

For those who love pieced borders, I’m going to do a series on pieced borders. The posts won’t we back to back or every day . . they’ll be just whenever I can get them done. More than giving out free patterns, I want you to feel confident creating your own borders and making them fit your own quilts.

Star BOM

The Star BOM we did recently had 7 borders, including the pieced ribbon border.

Big Star

The Big Star quilt offered as a free pattern has multiple borders, including a pieced border. I just remembered that I need to write the instructions for the second border option.

Big Star B2

I’ve seen gorgeous quilts with no borders at all so I’m not saying that every quilt needs multiple borders or a pieced border (or two) . . I’m just saying that I love multiple borders and pieced borders and I’ll share a bit of what I’ve learned through the years about borders for any of you who may be interested. I will add a section over on the right side bar under “Free Patterns and Projects” and try to keep this organized.
