This extremely simple technique is suitable for any size quilt when adding borders. Following it will ensure that your borders fit well.

Steps

  1. Mark the centre point of the quilt.
  2. Measure across the centre of the quilt first.
  3. Cut the border to this measurement. This will ensure that the quilt squares up every time.
