Skip the Borders: Easy Patterns for Modern Quilts
Who among us wouldn't like to take a break from borders once in a while? In her first book, quilt designer and popular blogger Julie Herman of Jaybird Quilts presents simple innovative quilt designs that have a fresh color palette and no borders! With a decade of quilting experience behind her and a good eye for color, Julie gives herself and others permission to break the rules. While some quilt designs need borders to look complete, others can stand strongly on their own, according to Julie. InSkip the Borders, she explores the structure of borderless quilts, what makes them work, how the binding affects the look, and how color can be used in bold ways to support the design.
