Hello AHIQ's !
What do you think of this new prompt? Borders are an important design feature of our quilts, right?
Have you tried any new borders lately? With what results?
I checked out a new book from the library, The Art of Make Do Quilting by Mary Kerr. Talk about amazing borders! Her subject on the cover is The Ultimate Guide for Working with Vintage Textiles, but her ideas and inspiration are easily transfered to newer quilt fabrics of course. It's a great book with super examples of her quilt projects.
Have a wonderful quilting day!

Love the idea! Still stuck trying to figure out my sun quilt idea, but improv. borders are always great fun. Will have to think about this more for sure!
Janie - I love your quilts shared here. Interesting prompt.
Audrey, You have so many exciting improv borders on your finished quilts and quilts in progress!
This is a great idea, Janie. I often love borders on other people's quilts but don't think often enough of using them myself. I absolutely think we should take this as our latest prompt - thank you!
I have made two small quilt tops with improv borders and found the process very therapeutic indeed, not so hung up on rules!
Good suggestion, Janie.
