MAKING A BORDER THAT FITS YOUR QUILT

TO MAKE A BORDER WITH STRAIGHT-CUT CORNERS:
Measure the length of the quilt in 3 center places along the quilt (middle, to the right, to the left). Average the numbers and use the average as the quilt length. Cut and add the two side borders.
Measure as above and add the top and bottom border. Repeat to add more borders.
To make mitered corners, consult a quilting book that contains instructions for finishing a quilt.
