Scalloped Frame Quilt Border |
Make 3-D borders using this quilting technique.
| 1. Fold bias quilt borders in half lengthwise, wrong sides facing; press. Open fold. | |
| 2. On wrong side of 2 borders, mark a 45° angle from each corner to fold line (Photo A). |  Photo A |
| 3. Place 1 marked quilt border atop 1 unmarked border, right sides facing. At one end, stitch on marked line. Repeat for remaining border pair. | |
| 4. In the same manner, join border pairs. | |
| 5. Trim ¼" beyond stitching; clip to point (Photo B). |  Photo B |
| 6. Re-fold borders to complete border frame (Photo C). |  Photo C |
| 7. Place frame atop quilt top, aligning raw edges. Baste through all layers close to outer edges. | |
| 8. Securely tack inside corners of frame and at points equal distance from corners (Photo D). For Fall's Finery, the distance is 9¼". |  Photo D |
| 9. Turn back folded bias edges between tacks to create scallop; press (Photo E). |  Photo E |
| 10. Stitch close to turned edge with straight or decorative stitch to hold in place (Photo F). |  Photo F |
