After the center of the quilt was done, it needed 11 inches on each side to fit it to a queen size. My first border finishes at 1.5, then 2 inches, then 3 inches, then 5.
I'm liking it!
I am a quilter - a retired widow living in the Nebraska Panhandle. I am surrounded by beautiful semi-arid ranch country, and treeless hills and fields under incredibly wide blue skies, located far from the upheaval found often in large towns or cities. I am blessed to have delicious time to quilt and to appreciate my peaceful moments in an unpeaceful world.

Mitered Multiple Borders, DD
This dark and murky photo does NOT do justice to this mitered, multiple border treatment, but then I couldn't climb up on the table for the best photo effect. (There are four borders.) The second photo is a little too washed out but ... You may notice one border has two different greens. I am 'making do' with pieces that were similar, in keeping with this scrappy DD. The borders are sewn together, just not sewn to the quilt.

ReplyDeleteDid you sew the strips together first and then mitre? I've heard that's easier.
ReplyDeleteThat is a stunner, Elaine. Do you have your quilting design in mind already?

Double mitered boarders! I bow to you. I really don't like doing these. I have tried different methods but for some reason I end up taking out my stitches 3-4 times. I don't enjoy that.
ReplyDeleteThat looks awesome! I avoid mitered borders (and zippers, truth be told) like the plague. :)
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is great. I like your color combinations. The mitered borders really set it off. Great job, again!
ReplyDeletewow, those corners are perfect!
