Square in Square or Economy block is a fan favourite. The rich diamond adds sparkle to any quilt.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Beyond Basic Borders is a new series of how to elevate the quilting border to the next level. Whether you use the leftover fabric from your quilt top, or introduce some new colours, this is going to be fun!<\/p>\r\n
To begin with, we will base the borders on using your GO! Qube Mix & Match sets although we will transition into other dies. Experimenting with colours and layouts, we will show you how simple design changes can alter the appearance of the block.<\/p>\r\n\r\nFinished width size borders:<\/b>\r\n The length will depend on your quilt top.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Pressing seams to one side or open is another discussion within itself, although the two general thoughts are:<\/p>\r\n Open Seams<\/b> allow for a smoother flatter quilt top, which doesn\u2019t allow fabric colour to appear through your quilt top.<\/p>\r\n Side Seam Pressing<\/b> is faster, and the seam is usually pressed towards the darkest colour. It makes it easier when you want to \u2018nest\u2019 seams in place, giving a clean seam intersection.<\/p>\r\n My suggestion \u2013 try both and see what works for you! There is no Quilt Police here<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n
