Making Quilts is one thing but then decorating it to make it look presentable is another. After completing the quilt, making the border makes it look very beautiful.
To make the quilt border, we need to take proper measurement.
Make Quilts borders:
Measure proposition of the quilt, leave about one fourth inch on all the four sides of the quilt. The margin of the borders should be ideally ten inches by thirty four inches. Include the one fourth inch to this margin.
Cut the cloth as per the measurement of the quilt to make it into two different borders. A upper border and the lower border.
Leaving a space of one fourth inch for stitching increasing your measurement accordingly. Cut the cloth as per the new measurement. This type of the quilt that you are creating is known as framed quilt.
Spruce Borders:
To make your framed quilt look beautiful, it should be spruced nicely.
Starting at the crown of your quilt and working down to the middle, measure your quilt. You want the length dimensions.
If your dimensions are 30 ½ inches, thus round it off to the nearest tenth, i.e. 30 to complete your calculations: You will need to insert ¼ inch into the seams and make room for your sides. Next, use measuring tape, or a ruler to measure your quilt. Measure from the alongside and factor in the dimensions of your borders.
Now insert the ¼-inch seams to the sides.
After finishing the borders, you need to make some unique pattern. For this fold the strips of the border into half and put the pin in the middle. Do the same on all the sides. Use pins used specially for crafts.
Once you have marked all the points, you can start stitching, but make sure that it is aligned properly to give that neat look. If done properly, you will find beautiful layers forming on your quilt.
